Thanks for the tip on loosening the bolts on the fender. I'm hoping it is something simple like that.

Just looked at a bagger without bags. Basically the same fender strut setup as a softail. I bet if you loosen the strut bolts and **** the fender and then retighten your problem will be solved

I wouldn't loosen this or tighten that as others have suggested. The bike is brand spanking new let the dealer deal with it.

Good idea. It centered my tire and straightened the bags. Also when I fixed this I noticed the true duals were uneven. Lossened the brackets and adjusted until even. All straight now.
