Well I swapped out the risers and now the risers sit the same on the triple tree, but the top of the right riser is still slightly more back than the front. Swapped bolts left to right, no change. Possible right riser is slightly bent. Bike is riding nice after new red bushings, so I may just live with it. I'm not sure anyone else would even notice...

Doubt if they are bent. Prolly miss aligned from day one. I had to straighten mine when I got it.

I just replaced the bushings on mine with Arlen Ness bushings.

I really can't see how things are out of alignment, especially after replacing the bushings. Do you have a pic? I mean, it's your bike and I'm sure it rides fine, but if it were mine, it'd bug the crap outa me...
