Found out what happened. It was caused by a set of Memphis Shields lowers I had mounted on the forks. Took them off since I am switching to a set of modified HD deflectors. It rides straight as an arrow now. Lesson's learned.

I couldn't agree with you more. The dealers must think we are a bunch of retards.

The problem is that in most cases the trike isn't "pulling" to one side or the other, it is drifting in the direction of road crown. It is very difficult to find a perfectly flat road as they are designed with a crown for water run-off. On mine on some roads it really feels like it is pulling because the crown is so steep. On other highways with minimal crown it will drift, but it is barely noticeable and only takes a touch on the handlebars to keep it going straight. On some roads if you get in the left lane it will drift left.

I have since modified a set of HD deflectors according to Scooty's mod directions. They fit like a glove without any effect on drift.

Tracks to right
I can come to a stop. Take my hands off the bars and the front wheel will turn to the right. I think it is something in the front forks. I had chrome forks installed on the bike before I ever rode it for the first time. I truly believe it is something in the forks
