Love that solo setup :2vrolijk_21:

Back to the crooked issue. Is it the fairing or maybe the cluster that's off? Can you stand on something behind the bike and get another pix of it from looking over the tour pack?

This is only to show you what we are talking about, it's no quite this bad but too late in in my head. But I hate a crooked steering wheel.
That's far more exaggerated than mine.

Mine is a little crooked the same direction as posted.  Not as much, I did not notice it in 3600 miles, but noticed after this thread.  I think its the cluster after studying it for 100 miles yesterday.

Love the solo set up.  Mine will be just like that with in a couple days.

It shouldn't be difficult to measure the height of the fairing from a fixed point on the frame on each side to determine if the fairing is mounted straight or not.  The more likely source of the disparity is the fact the instrument cluster is mounted to the bars/fork brackets, not the fairing, and the angle changes as the bars are moved.  Prove it to yourself by swinging the bars from left to right and back again while watching that fairing to cluster gap.  You might need to look at the alignment of the bars when the bike is tracking straight down the road to see if they are "tweaked" a bit to one side.  Of course if it's aligned perfectly when the wheel is aligned straight, that doesn't mean it's going to stay that way while riding on a crowned road.
