Steering not centered - Pulls Right
Bent forks, tweeked triple tree, broken folk spring... all can cause this.
If the rear drive pulley/wheel is not aligned correctly it will "push" the bike to the right or left depending on the belt/pulley alignment. Just something to check.

sorry for the confusion! What? everyone can't read my mind? LOL. OK, the bike is up on the lift. Using a bulldog lift with the support on the belly of the bike. I have always used it when cleaning and such. normal to have the tire go to center when lifted, now , no matter what, it turns to the right.. the only thing that has happened is the dealer picking it up and delivering it back to me for basic stuff, like the rear brake switch recall. I noticed the last time it was delivered that the bike appeared to be ratcheted down much tighter on the right side than the left. I dunno if this can do something to the forks and all. Thank you all for your advice, and again, sorry for the confusion. I blame it on the pain meds.

the dealer did pick it up to check this for me last week. assured me that they adjusted the pinch bolts and center nut to speck with the harley swing test. Just odd that with no wiring attached, no fairing inner or outer, no clutch or brake cable, and it pulls so bad to right. I told them I am getting ready to be able to ride, and will be putting it all back together and documented it. I will ask them to check the items that you all have suggested. Great ideas you all.. thanks again. Wish it was something simple !
