Alignment issue???
Bike is a 2013 Eglide classic.
On a recent road trip I notices something odd. When the bike is in motion and I look at the top of the forks between the gas tank and the inner fairing, the forks seem to be turned slightly to the right yet the bike is moving in a straight line. Is this a normal condition or is there something out of whack with the steering geometry?

Are you sure it's not an optical illusion?
Could you have been adjusting for a crown in the road or side wind?
If your observation is correct, and you weren't "correcting" for anything, then something is amiss....

Test road a new Road Glide last year that had the same issue, mentioned that to the salesmen said he'd get the mechanic to look at it. Ended up buying a Road King Special.....same issue. I've learned not to look at it....lol
