Well, when I am riding straight the handlebars are slightly turned to the right. It's very slight, but enough to bug me, if you know what I mean. I will put another pic up in the a.m.
I didn't torque it to much, but just enough to get them all tight enough without bearing down. Sent from my iPhone using Motorcycle.com Free App |

For the handlebars, if you loosen the two nuts - behind headlight/ under tach and muscle the bars around a bit they may reseat if they have been knocked out of position as opposed to being bent. We have had that happen before. Then tighten the nuts/bolts again.
I highly recommend using a torque wrench on the fork pinch bolts and rechecking them like I said. I had issues with this the first time I dealt with them. |

Welcome! A good torque wrench is a must, along with lock-tite on this bike.

If you have the money a Snap On or Mac Tools 3/8 inch drive click torque wrench would be good. A 1/2" drive would also be good to have along with your 3/8" drive. If you don't want to spend that much, Craftsman from Sears are good. I'd get both a 3/8" drive and a 1/2" drive. You can find the torque specs in the shop manual here on the forum.
