2007 fatboy front end
The handlebars on my 07 fatty always seem turned to the right a bit when I'm going straight, can anyone out there offer any advice on how to straighten out my front end.....it's driving crazy!!!!!
You could consider replacing the rubber bushings under the risers with poly ones.
The rubber ones will sometimes do that, and the only "fix" I know for it is to replace them with the poly versions.

Yes mine did that and after 3 times to the dealer they adjusted them where they stayed. I think they just turn the wheel hard left and then hit the bars to put it back. That was only a temporary fix. Then the last time they loosened the risers and adjusted it and it has stayed.
I'm glad you made this posting! The last few times I rode my FB it seemed like the bars were slightly turned to one side. I would sit straight and move around in the seat to see if it was just me. I thought I was losing it! I'll definitely have it checked out this spring when I take it into the dealer for inspection.
Holy Sh&*, I thought my cheese had slipped off my cracker. I didn't want to say anything in that I thought it maybe normal. Mine are tweeked just a hair to the left so slightly that you really have to pay attention to see it.
I noticed that on mine, but I'm not too worried about it. I guess this is because when bike is on the sidestand, the wheel turns to the left, and you need to apply a bit more force on the handrebars to straighten it when picking up bike. Maybe not...polly bushings should fix that anyway.
Mine are tweaked ever so slightly to the right. I took it to the dealer once right after I bought it.
This monster tech came out, grabbed the bars and yanked them against the fork stop.
Ehh, thats good I told him. They are still slightly off. Some day I will loosen everything up and take care of it.

I had the same problem...took it back to the dealer, the tech came out, gave it a quick snap on the bars and yanked them straight. something about the rubber bushings. just another screw up by HD on the 07 FatBoys
I have the same "problem" on my '04 Fatty, but only after I replaced the stock risers with a set of 2 up/2 back. I figured it was just a matter of playing around with it to get it straight, but I never seem to get around to it. I've kind of gotten used to it now. Might do it this spring, before I start riding. Good tip on the poly bushings. Thanks, Citoriplus!
