Default Offcenter console?

Has anyone noticed the centerline of their console / speedo does not line up with the centerline of the fork lock / handlebar cover / centerline of the nacelle (RK Cust)? I looked at the 360 walk around on HD dot com and the same thing for the SGs and EGs. I know (hope) it's only a matter of aesthetics, but is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Whewww! I am glad mine is not the only one....I though my frame was bent

Probably something to do with that huge wiring harnass that runs up the right side keeping the console from sitting flat on the tank?

Perhaps a front end alignment would help. 8-)
Actually, you could probably shim the front end console so it lines up properly.

Adrian Monk owns a Harley?????

Check your service manual for the procedure for removing the tank console; loosen it and see if you can move it enough to suit your eye.

I just looked at my 08 RKC. Looks like it lines up exactly.

I also asked my salesman to make sure, the handle

bars were even, when they set up the bike. It is

probably an easy adjustment.
