My guess is the front and rear tire tacks different, but if thats it how do U measure the 6*.
or is it the Bars and TT is pointing 6* to the right but still goes straight.???
What I mean is the bike goes straight but the front end is pointing 6 degrees to the right--like the front end is badly bent but it's not.
Going to have an old friend who is smart as hell on Harley's look at it. Suspect something with the rear end is the cause.

Level the lower frame rails, then check to see if the forks are vertical. Had a chopper that hit a car previously with front end kicked to the side road like that.
