handlebars down to right
hello,I am a new member and just bought an 08 superglide custom,it seems to me when i'm riding straight down the road,the handlebars and triple trees are down slightly on the right side.the bike drives straight as an arrow,this is just a littlt annoying.I tried loosening the riser bolts and twisting the bars to the right,but this did not help. any info is appreciated.

i know the 07 has a recall on the bars. mine was the same way when i picked it up. i also tried to straighten the bars at the tripple tree with no success. i recently changed to drag bars and everything is straight now. i think the bars themselves were bent. you might want to check the bars for straightness. if off the bike lay them flat on a table and check for wobble or eyeball them just to check. not the first time i have ran into bent bars right off the shelf.

I'm gonna go with bent bars as well. I put on a set of apes that I got off of a buddy's bike. I put them on got everything wired up and stepped back to admire my handy work and the damn left side was at least 2 degrees bent inward. The point being, sometimes it's diffifcult to eyeball bent bars...
