Same here...I don't think it is "completely normal" for a bike to track off to one side or the other, that is a balance issue. Aside from the normal crown of the road surface, you will get some tracking but, if your bags are loaded evenly the bike should track straight.

That's interesting to know. So is there a "fix" for those whose bike is not tracking right? My old Honda Shadow 1100 did that and it drove me absolutely nuts.

There is no adjustment of the four point mounting per say. How ever there are things that can effect the tracking as has been discussed.
One thing that has not been mentioned is the front drive train mount that bolts to the engine cases. Two bolts secure this piece to cases and I believe it's not a pinned part. In other words it could cause a misalignment of the power train.
Can it be enough to effect the alignment.................I don't know as I've not messed with one.

This same topic has been discussed multiple times in the past and the general consensus is the Harleys do not track straight. Although it would be nice to release the handle bars and the bike stay straight, they don't. I can tell my Road King takes a little uneven twist in the handle bars while riding.
