Mine pulled slightly left from day 1. I think they all do, I make sure the right saddllebacg has more weight in it to compensate.

Jack the rear end up and start the engine and put it in gear... Stand back look and make sure that the rear is running true... I have seen it be a tire that didn't seat properly on the wheel...

I think they all do that. My Road Glide has done that from day one. I have never
had any issue with tire wear. It probably comes from the the drive components
as well as weight are on the left hand side.

There a a bunch of variables here:
Camber of the Road
Operator/Passenger Position on Motorycle
Weight Distribution of carried items
normal tire wear from the camber of the road
rear axle alignment
entire engine drive train alignment
torque of the engine

you can literally drive the motorcycle with hands off the handlebars by just applying pressure with your feet to either floorboard or slight shifts in body position in the seat.

I have an 06 Street Glide and it tracks straight when I take my hands off the bars.

Put a small picture of Hillary in the right saddle bag. If that's not enough, you'll have to enlarge the picture. If all else fails you'll need to join tha ACLU.
