Also consider a one piece top clamp something like this http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5000380 they are much better than the stock two piece.

I have another theory about this and it's probably a load of crap, but here goes. Every time I read one of these crooked handlebar threads it seems like the bars are always pointed to the right. Is it possible that because we are riding on the right side of the road, and the roads are crowned that the bike is actually leaning slightly to the left to compensate for the slope of the road surface therefore pushing the bars slightly to the right? I know in my case the bars don't look crooked sitting in the garage they look crooked going down the road. I can take my hands off the bars and the bike goes straight. Like I said, maybe a load of crap, just throwing it out there.
No, I thought of that before, that's not it. I ride out in the middle of nowhere a lot so I use the whole road; it is the same on the left side of the road. It is only the bars that are turned not the forks or wheel, so it only affects the look and feel, not the alignment so it does not affect the tracking.
I haven't try the yank fix suggested by Stiggy, I'll give that a try.
