New user and fairly new rider here. I'm riding a 2005 Road King Custom.

I have a question about fork alignment. Seems like the right fork is closer to the gas tank than the left. If there is an existing thread on here addressing this and someone reading this knows about it please let me know. Otherwise I'll start another thread in the appropriate place.

Thanks

BC

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. You've asked your question and as it's a Touring model query we can answer it here!

Comparing your forks relative to your tank is not a reliable thing to do. It's much more important that your forks are straight and that your bike tracks true. How does it feel while riding? What is the difference in that gap between the left and right sides?
