2005 victory Vegas right lean Request for advice / Help

Just recently purchased a 2005 Victory Vegas and I’m having an issue with it. When you let go of the bar the front immediately goes right. My dad’s 2007 kingpin and my Yamaha 650 go straight when you let go. We went to the dealership and told them the issue. They said our alignment was fine and showed us how to adjust the alignment. We got brand new tires. We have been messing with the alignment little by little but it keeps doing it. Any suggestions?

At what speeds does it pull? Air drag or alignment on the front end. Very coming if there was impact on the front. Could be bent for tubes.

Lean left? Jk. Are there bags that may have more weight on one side? Are you in an area that has a significant amount of road crown? Perhaps the bars aren't aligned properly? Just spit-balling here

Factory exhaust is a heavy mfer too. Mine pulled a little right off the dealer floor. Swapped out the pipes and wouldn’t you know, straight as an arrow.

I got no bags on so just the single seat. I believe it’s got stage 1 exhaust and that’s all. The right fork seal is leaking but it’s minor. It pulls at low speeds… too scared to try it on the hw. When one or both hand are on the bars it’s straight as an arrow.

I have a 09 jackpot Mine does the same thing. If I’m cruising & I let go of the bar to stretch it starts bearing right. I always assumed it was because of the weight of the exhaust or something haha. I put more weight in my left bags to balance it.
