Yup.. the reason I know this is because two weekends agowhen I went to the 'Louie Run' in Painsville, I was riding across I-90 early in the morning with the cruise set to about 65.It was like 35* out andI kept pulling both of my hands off the bars to rub them together cause the tips of my fingers were freezing.

You added cruise control.
Glad your yours tracks straight. Looks like most don't.

I asked this question several months ago, and never got what I thought was a satisfactory answer. Maybe because there ain't one. Yep, my 02 pulls left as well.
Can't be the clutch as was mentioned above, as I had the whole front end off adding cruise just this past weekend.

Keep in mind that all your drive line is on the left side. It will act as a gyro at certain speeds. That will cause a slight lean to the left.. Except changing speeds there is no cure for that.. It is all weight and balances. Mine tracks straigh but I also have a heavier bike..It should not happen when you are two up cause that changes the weight (alot)(meaning) 100 lbs makes things change a lot..

Mine will "pull" one way or the other depending on how the saddlebags are loaded and of course the crown or crest or wheel tracks in the road. I just pay attention to loading the bags equal as possible and if i have a lot of gear in the right bag which is usually the case I will toss a few bottles of water in the left to equalize the load and have extra water. Keep an eye on tire wear whick could indicate a alignment problem. I went through the repair manual and checked that everyhting was set up ok per the manual for peace of mind too.
