My 07 RG pulls slightly to the left when I take my hands off the handlebars also. I do not worry about that though because I found an easy fix. Tell you friend to always have at least one hand on the handlebars and it will not pull to the left

My '07 Road King does the same. Talked to my "wrench" ( old school for mechanic ) and he suggested re-routing my clutch cable. Haven't parked it long enough to try it yet.

My 06 Street Glide pulls to the left also. I do know that it is a common problem. I don't have an answer for you though. A few thoughts would be to check alignment, and look into a True Trac or Ride Str8.

Heres a quick fix for when the bike pulls with your hands not on the bars. Put them back on the bars. thats what handlebars are designed for, to hold onto.

Funny this post is here this morning. I took my hands off this morning to see what the tracking would do on the bike and it pulled to the left also. Had to lean to the right and compensate. Putting my hands back on the bars seemed to work for me also.

Mine does it too, and since the consensus here is that most do it I'm thinking it's a design aspect rather than a problem...

My 06 SG pulls to the left, I think it is the clutch cable. Anyone notice that the bars do not have the same amount of clearance from the fairing on both sides on the batwing?
