If it just got off the trailer, did you let it go through dealer prep? If not...

 

I had a similar issue with my 2010 wide glide. Bars were cocked to the right. I had to loosen the bar mounts under the top tree and realign them.

 

"Is your bike a single disc front brake? Sometimes they will pull slightly to one side because the rotating mass of the disc acts like a gyroscope; seemed like most of my single disc bikes pulled to the right, especially my '99 FXSTC. Also, the crown of the road can have an effect, especially with cars."

Thanks for the reply Dickey! It has disk brakes on the front and back and are offset. front is on the left and right is on the back. I wonder if the back wheel could be slightly misaligned as a previous poster suggested. The back wheel looks pretty straight and even from the rear though. It is really bugging me and worrying me to death! I mean its right there in front of me going down the road and it really looks like the forks and all are cocked slightly to the right. I read on another forum where a few guys had the same problem and said it was fixed by loosening up the triple trees and front wheel and getting it straight and tightening everything back down. Could the forks some how be off from the factory like that? Thank you guys again for all your replies. I'm freakin out lol

 

It'll be ok.

The worst possible case here is the frame was made wrong at the factory and is not straight. The odds of that being the case are about zero.

The most likely thing is that the rear wheel is off alignment just a midge. That's a very minor problem (you can ignore it if you like) that is simple to fix.

 

Ok... Took it to the dealership... two different guys rode it... and both said "looks fine to me". After closer inspection while riding and sitting still, I found that by looking at the top tree and the front wheel, it doesn't seem to be perfectly perpendicular. It looks slightly off by a degree or two. Did I read a previous poster say I could loosen the bottom tree and the front axle clamps, keeping the front wheel stationary, and by turning the handlebars, I could tweek that out? Or do I need to loosen both trees? Also if I go that route, do any of you guys know the torque specs for tightening everything back down? Thanks you guys for your input thusfar!

 

I guess I read that fix in another tread somewhere, but would that work? The dealership said they checked rear wheel alignment when I took it up there, but I am somewhat skeptical for some reason due to the fact they said that it looks fine to them. He took it in the shop and clamped it down and measured everything and it is all in spec, so no bent forks I am guessing.

 

How do I check the rear wheel alignment myself on a 2016 wide glide?

 

Most roads, especially 2 lane, have a crown in the middle. When you are riding, it is like you are riding sideways on the side of a very small hill. Do you think that could account for your observation?

Have you verified correct tire pressure?

Generally speaking when I am riding I am looking quite a distance down the road, with an occasional glance at the instruments. It almost sounds like your focus is right on the bars, forks, and not the road?

I would be very reluctant to start adjusting things myself on a brand new bike. If you do, and you are honest with the service dept. at the dealer, pretty much anything determined to be wrong from here on out, you will own, and the dealer could start charging you to correct your "repairs".

 

Get the factory service manual. It has all the specs, adjustments, and torques in it.
Don't rely on the service department.

 

Do you have a friend that rides, that you would trust to ride your scoot and give you their honest opinion?

If you don't fully trust what the shop guys said, maybe you need a more neutral observation from someone else...

Good luck and keep us posted on how it turns out.
