Default fxtc handle bars

I replaced the buckhorns on my 98 softail custom, they were slighty bendt when I bought the bike,I put 1.25 drag bars on it.The problem I am having is when I am riding if I look down at the the bars and the tripple trees it looks as if the bars lean to the the left or the illusion as the bike leans its only noticable if you are moving,I have replaced the riser bushings with poly bushings, still the same( yes I know dont look down at the trees)the bike rides fine its just an annoyance,A friend of mine took the bars off of his sporster then disided not to change them after riding he mentioned he thought his bars not straight I described what my bike and my bars , he said thats what his was like. does anybody have any thoughts on this? thanks for any info. Robert.
