07 fatboy handle bar issue
Hey everyone. After my last post with great insight and help I thought I would post again with an issue I can't figure out on my own.
When I am on my bike my left arm is extended further than right when driving straight.
So reading other threads with simular issues just left me confused with what my actual issue is. Some lead me to think it is the lower mounts where the wheel is attached to the forks and an offset was incorrect. However, I have not noticed weird tire wear and I do not feel like I have to lean one way or the other to keep it straight like described in those posts.
Another post was about the bushing needing replaced. Before I dive into this myself or pay someone to do it I want to make sure that is the issue.
How can I figure out what the real issue is here? And can I resolve this myself with my basic mechanical skills and tools?
I seem to think it is the bushings because when I am on the bike sitting with the wheel facing straight the forks line up with the body correctly. Only the handle bars appear to be out of align.
Thanks for any input. Maybe there is another issue I am not even aware of.
