Adjusting fairing on bagger
The fairing on my 2001 FLHTCI appears to be on the bike slightly crooked. It leans to the right. i.e. the right side seems to be closer to the grips than the left side. Is there any way to adjust this so that it appears straight?

Sometimes the molding and or the mounting holes could be off.
The lowers I bought for mine are way off due to the mismatch when molded.It may be possible to shim.
As suggested,I would remove the outer and check the bracket's,etc-.

my 99, the fairing seemed askew to the right since day 1. Brackets broke at 20,000 miles, replaced and next 48,000 miles, checked once a month, brackets never broke again, but the fairing seemed askew to the right. My 2008, guess what... fairing seems askew to the right. Both bikes, when I take my hands off the grips and ride no-handed - bike tracks straight as can be all day long. I sat on a 2003 at my dealer that someone traded in and the fairing seemed askew to the right - so, either it is my imagination, or I have such superior brain power, that I can recognize these askew fairings? Nah, must be my imagination.
