Default 2018 StreetBob Pulls Left

So here's the quick and dirty - my 2018 streetbob tends to pull left when riding without my hands on the bars (horrible I know) but leads me to believe there may be something wrong with some sort of alignment? I know what HD is going to say if I call them "You shouldn't be riding without your hands on the bars...." I've read quite a few forums and see that similar issues are out there with other models but hoping someone can chime in with some advice!

Upgrades:
TBR 2-into-1 exhaust
Saddlemen 2-up seat
Trask high performance air cleaner

No bags to throw alignment off with weight...HELP!

Check the swing arm alignment ,I'll bet it's not right there .Or go to your local MOFOCO they have the alignment tool there.
I have an 18 FXBB and I can let go of the bars no issues and yes I know it's a stoopid thing to do.
