Yeah the weight is on the left wide with that primary hanging out there, you can always tell a harley when you come up behind one, the rider always has the left leg hanging out more than the right.
DSnoopy, if you have the service manual, you can see there is not a hell of lot in those front ends. They can be rebuilt without too much trouble. I have changed tubes on mine before after I hit a wall screwing around in my driveway....(long story that I had to live down at the local HD shop for awhile

Mine has had a slight "lean" (I guess you could call it that) since day one. When I'm riding in a straight line, the bars are slightly off-center to the right. Barely noticeable. I only notice it when I look down and notice the triple-tree is slightly closer to the tank on the right side.
It hasn't bothered me enough to worry about it.

So my bike is leaning to the left more and more and it's driving me insane.
It does not track to the left, just leans. Meaning, if I pull the bike straight up and down it will actually begin going right.
Otherwise, it leans about 5 degrees or so to the left, while going straight.
Thoughts?
I checked tire pressure, which seems to help a little I think, but not really that much. Do shocks play a role in that? Maybe I have one side too tight? Is there a spacer off on the axle or something? HELP!!!! ARGHHHH..

I'll be glad to help ya snoop, but this is gonna hurt. Your leftist political ideology has gone and infected your fine scoot. Rest easy my friend, this will all go away once you fully grasp the understanding of what common sense truly means.
