Default Front end out of alignment?

My sister in law has a 05 heratige classic. The problem is the handle bars seem to be cocked off to the right. Is there any way to adjust it? Maybe something out of wack on the triple tree? No time to bring to dealer before we go on a weekend outing next week. Any help appreciated Ed.

If the risers aren't bolted to the top tree straight, it'll cause the handlebars to be a bit outta hack.

If you loosen the riser bolts under the top tripple tree a turn or so, you can align the bars to your liking where they should be. This is a very common thing.
