    My RK Custom pulls to the left just a little bit. Been doing it from the day I got it. Maybe I should have taken it back to the stealer right then but procrastination is a b!t(* .
    Anyway I have been told that I would be better off getting a service manual and going over all of the alignment for the wheels and motor myself. Dose anyone have any words of wisdom on this? CD what kind of deal can you make me on a 04 touring model service manual? I’ll need one even if I don’t do this one myself. The HD Moco sells for about $60.

    One thing it may be is that the left front brake pad may be dragging just a bit. Ride Safe, David.

    I have had the wheels off the ground and it doesn’t seem to be dragging at all. Spins pretty good.
