I just had to look. It was the “air temperature gauge”. He argued with me that, that is what the dude told him who sold him the bike. I busted his bubble right there in front of the two chicks. Then they started giving me crap for pointing that out. But I also told showed him he had a CD player because the previous owner told him he didn’t have one.

So we’re even I guess.

Sounds like the OP has discovered counter steering, and needs some more practice.

The height of ignorance never seizes to amaze me.

You should have showed him the switch for the air conditioner while you were there lol

For OP...check your tire pressure, shock air pressure & possibly look at what's stored in Right-side hardbag (i.e. big heavy toolbag). Either of these will cause drift to Right, or you've got other issues related to wheel, tree or shock(s)...worth a start.

My AC switch broke two weeks ago! Mother Harley won't replace it.

Air conditioning switches can be bought on ebay for less than $80, but I've found that when I replaced my switch with a billet 3-way hydravalve, my A/C blows waaay colder.
