But right circles are a different story. Im shaky, not confident, way too wide, etc.

So im nervous because i want to take my road test on my FLSTCI and i can only imagine showing up and he says "now make 9 circles to the right" and ill freak out hehe

Im exaggerating, but seriously .. any tips on right turns? I understand from a few friends it is quite a common problem. Wondering if there are any minor solutions.
Maybe you should enter a motorcycle safety program and learn on someone else's bike 1st.
