Yeah, but I'm betting your RLETs are lined up just right.The ferret_imp said:

My 17' EX also has that same issue, it gave the impression that the handle bar is not properly aligned, i.e. one of the grip seemed closer to the rider than the other side. So I loosened the 2 handle bar stem nuts under the top bridge (triple clamp), twisted the handle bar left/right to each stop a few times to reseat the clamps and re-torqued without any improvement.
At the time I noticed that the 2 clamps were mounted on rubber washer, so I figured that may be the rubber washers were the issue because the handle bar straight section when eyeballed against the 2 forks at the top bridge is not aligned.
Note:
The bike was never dropped or strapped on a trailer.
The bike when new is held via the 2 handlebar clamps to the shipping crate via an extension bracket. (will provide the picture once I figured out how to reduce the picture file size).
Will investigate further when the weather gets warmer.

You're not seeing things. The gauges on my '13 are a tiny bit out of whack, and I've posted on this forum before about it. Not much, just a bit, but it's there.

I dont think my turn signals are all aligned the same, but after 48,000 miles the rest of the bike is so good, I'm willing to ignore it.
That is just fine for you, Mr. Ferret, Defender of the Realm!
You ride on by with your turn signals out of alignment, and YOU can't see them. The rabble are left in an emperors new clothes type situation, you know?
Shall we tell him? Wink wink, nudge nudge.
It would seem that a Ferret of your standing would be a bit more concerned with keeping up appearances, eh?
Guess I'd better tone it down. Don't want my rlets disappearing in the middle of the night, perhaps accompanied by a ransom note or some such.

Been there
. I must add.. I have noticed the same thing with the gauges being a little off.. or at least, something is.. I have made some adjustments, and it seems to be better, but not perfect.. my solution to the problem was, clutter !! ..

lol you guys are going to make me look harder at my gauges, and I dont really want to.
Well, for the first time, I'm notseriously considering selling my CB because I don't think I can live with the imbalance of it all.Chuckk_imp said:. I must add..
