Sounds like you need a new frame. If you pester HD enough, they will authorize it.

For added leverage, check into the Lemon Law in your state.

If your arm aches trying to keep the bike running straight, something is seriously wrong.

As always, stress the safety issue....

Good luck, keep us informed.

 

Here is a procedure that i read awhile back, and saved it to a file for future reference.
BTW my 03 RK doesn't have any pull or drift even when the bags are unevenly weighted.

HD TOURING ALIGNMENT
Jack up the bike and set on stand then got the frame dead nuts level with a good quality two foot level across the frame tubes under the seat.
Sears sells a laser that is cheap, projects a flat plane for about 180 deg., has a magnetic base, and the plane can be rotated 90 deg to vertical or horizontal.
I put one laser on front and rear brake rotors on the same side of the bike pointing forward. Mounted this way the laser's project a beautiful red line on the floor.
Then put a magnetic base torpedo level on front and rear rotors to check for vertical.
Take the center bolt out of the front motor mount and loosen the lock nuts on the rod eyes at the front and top of motor.
Turn the front end until the level on the front rotor shows vertical.
Adjust the top rod eye to get the rear rotor vertical then adjust both rod eyes until rear laser intersects front laser directly below the front axle center and be sure to keep the front and rear rotors vertical. Adjusting one rod eye changes the other. So after the first adjustment of top rod eye to get rear rotor vertical adjust both rod eyes together.
Loosen the front motor mount and move over to match the engine plate hole.
Be sure to tighten everything up.

You will be amazed how well the bike handles when it's all lined up!

When I started the bubble in the level on the rear rotor was about a third pass the line with the wheel leaning to the right. The laser on the rear shot way right of the front and missed the front axle center line by about 1 1/4".
What started me on this was when I rode the bike and looked down at the speedo the *** end looked to be tracking to the right. It was ez to see why when I checked the alignment. And, a buddy of mine who has the same bike told me his bike was way out of alignment too. He used straight edges to align his.

 

Disconnect the clutch cable from the front forks and
your problem will go away. I know this from experance, I
HAD the same problem wirh My 07 road king classic

 

It's amazing to me that those hacks that assemble these bikes can't manage to get most of them even close. It's just pathetic.

Of course, from the MOCO's point of view, if people continue to by their products why should they do more than a half-assed job? There's just no pride of workmanship with those people. Sad.

 

UPDATE: I took the advise of 6Gun and removed the clutch cable from the left down tube. My cable seems long to me and even when I took the clamp off it still sits in the 90 made with the windsheild and windshield bracket. I took it for a test ride got it on a straight road and set the cruise at about 30 mph. I then took my hands off the grips and with my but in the saddle I could keep the bike going straight by leaning my upper body to the right. This is a huge improvement over before. I can now even get it to go right by leaning my upper body farther to the right. It was virtually impossible to do before even with half my body off the seat and favoring the right. One thing I did notice is my front end has a wobble in it that it didn't have back 1500 miles or so. I now have 6,600 miles on it. Even when holding the grips you can feel a slight wobble which tells me the front tire is cupping. That means that there is an alignment problem. There is no reason a tire with 6,600 should be cupped unless there is a issue. I will still be pursuing with my dealer that they get this all fixed. I will print out Idagon's procedure for alignment and bring it to my dealer and sit there and watch them do it.

 

Not having this problem with mine it is as straight as a string

 

My '08 street glide does the same thing but not as badly as you describe. With no hands I use my left knee to steer. I assumed it was the centrifugal force of something spinning in the engine that was pulling/pushing the bike. What do I know??

 

I did this on my 07 Road Glide with 18" apes. The clutch cable was attached about halfway down the apes.

Removed the bracket and now the clutch cable isn't attached to anything, bike no longer pulls left.

Worth a try, worked like a charm for me.

 

Check the alighnment with 2 8ft florescent light tubes and re alighn. It will be off.

I basically did the same thing today (just fiddled with the cable in the bracket by feeding a bit more of the cable through it)and now she tracks dead straight, thanks for the info !
