I have heard that a bike with a single front disc will pull to one side, while dual discs are better balanced. That's a lotta rotating mass up there. I know my single front disc FX Softails & Fatboy pulled to the right, while my RKC tracks straighter than a preacherman's daughter.
My '05 EGC tracked like it was on rails. My '13 RK pulled left, but could be tweaked a bit by messing with the clutch cable as it applied pressure to the handlebars. I could never quite get it perfect. My '14 Ultra tracks almost perfect with a very slight tendency to pull left. A slight shift in body weight remedies it.
My Road King did that, till I disconnected the clutch cable,
from the triple tree. The clutch cable was longer than it had
to be and the extra length was pushing an the left side of
the front forks causing the bike to want to go left. As
best as I can remember it was a slow left steer to start, but
the more left it went the faster left it went as well.
