Default Wheel/Handlebar Alignment

I had my Harley Dealer install Chrome Front End, Chrome Calipers & Floatinghead brakes, Chrome Handlebar Controls, and Cables.After picking the trike up I noticed I had to steer a little right to go straight. If I straighten out the handlebars the trike turns left. Could this be Harley Dealer induced or should I call it warranty work thatneeds to be done?

The bars on my bike were out of alignment too. They are mounted in rubber bushings. I was able to put the front tire up against a curb and then pull the bars against it until they were straight. There is some give in the bushings. Give it a try. Worked for me.

Wouldn't work by turning the bars all the way because they flexed until they contacted the tank. Had to use a curb.

BTW, I called the dealer and they told me how to do it. Didn't come up with this on my own.

Let us know if it works for you.

The risers need to be tweaked just a little. Sifularsons way will probably work. If not loosen riser bolts very little move bars then tighten bolts, very easy to do.
