I'm no expert and certainly not a motorcycle mechanic. However, several years ago I experimented with letting go of the handlebars with the bike in neutral and with the bike in gear. The results were that the more engine brake a bike has the more it pulls to the left. As I remember the CB1000 may not have a lot of engine break so this is a doubtful solution. A bike like an Africa Twin that has a lot of engine break pulls to the left a good deal, when it is in gear, once the rider releases the handlebar.
