Default Front end drift

I have an 06 Haritage w/7500mi. I noticed on a ride over the weeked that the bike was polling to the right. If I held on with both hands or just my left hand the bike road great. But if I just held on with my right hand the bike would try to pull right. I also noticed that with no right hand and just placing a little presure on the the left grip with my left index finger, the bike straightened right up. Got any ideas?

If it pulled a lot it could be the forkswere bent but the very slight pull you describe it sounds like the front wheel is a little out of balance. A very common thing with the way the roads are now, potholes, cracks and bumps.
