To the left.

For some reason on my 00 Hawk I find that if I let go of the handlebars the bike likes to go/lean very slightly to the left, and not go in a straight line. It is not veering off drastically or anything, it just is a slight thing.

Any ideas as to why this might be?

Also is there a fork brace option for our bikes that is not $130 + for $10 worth of metal? (If not I will see if I can get one of my friends to mill one up for me as he has a full shop)

Thanks

Check the alignment marks on the swingarm to make sure the wheel is straight.

Since you mentioned it, see if your guy will fab up multiple braces.

Ensure the rear wheel is aligned. If it's okay and the bike has never beeen down then it's probably the way you're sitting.

Birdoprey is an unknown quantity at this point
when my back acts up I can't ride straight no-handed. try another bike or bicycle to see if it's the bike or you.

It is probably how I am sitting, but I will check the rear just to be sure.
