Hello,
My bars seem to be pointed to the right and the bike seems to be crabbing to the left similar to an airplane landing in a cross wind. This is an 08 with under 500 miles and my first Harley. Dealer said he test drove bike and said he did not notice problem. This is driving me nuts. Could it be alignment from the rear or some other area?
Thanks,
Tim

I would post your question in the tech section under softails. If possible take it to another dealer and get their response.
