In the past I had bikes with misaligned bars/forks but I am not convinced this is the issue here and it may just be an optical illusion in play. In fact, I observed the same issue with another CB1100 (an RS) in the dealership.
When I spoke to the dealer about it, he told me it was a common topic and it is caused by the fact the gauges are rubber mounted and therefore, often look a bit out of line.
I've tried to photograph the gauges and bars on my bike but I have to admit, this picture does not really show the issue with any clarity.

Does anyone else have the same issue or know of any solutions? I could try realigning the forks I guess, but thought I'd ask here before starting that.
Likely not a biggie, but based on the provided image the left clutch hydraulic reservoir is somewhat tilted (rotated) forward when compared to the right front brake reservoir. This appears to create an illusion that something is amiss on the handlebars?
Good eye...now that I see that I can't unsee it!
