I have 05 RoadGlide and when I am going straight down the road the handlebars are turned to the right a little. Rides good, no problems, but you really notice it because of the gauge and dash. I also swear I had some fatboys before that seemed to be the same way.
Any experienced techs out there familiar with possible cause?
Welcome to the Forum!!!!
Your bars may be off, but your Fairing may be off some too making your bars look really off.....big time.
Both are easy to adjust and best done on a lift with the bike straight up.
you are looking at so many different angles and curves that things may look misaligned. no one's eyes are perfectly aligned and no one's arms are equal length. relax and enjoy the ride.
They may very well be turned a bit, because they are mounted in rubber bushings which will give a bit. If they look like they are turned the right, just turn left to full lock and push them back straight...After I put wide beach bars on my RKC, my bars were always crooked. I finally swapped out the rubber bushings for poly ones and now they stay pretty straight.
