There was a thread about this awhile back. Seems there are a lot of Dynas (including mine) out there with handlebars slightly off to the right. It bugged me until I found there were others. I've had three different sets of bars and they've all been off to the right. Must be an assembly jig at the factory out of alignment.

It's your top clamp usually. The longer the riser, the more noticeae it is. All it takes is minor adjustments in the tightening of the top clamp screws and you'll get them straight.

What he said. At least that has been my experience.
