Handlebar allignment/adjustment

I have a small perplexing problem. when I am riding, I feel as if my left hand/arm is (reaching) farther forward than my right. When I turn the HB to their stops they are the same distance from the gas tank (about a half inch). When I am sitting on my bike on the center stand and have the HB in the same position as when I ride everything looks straight. Also, my bike runs true, smooth and can take my hands off the bars without any kind of pulling. I don't really think that my left arm is shorter than my right but it could be I guess. I did drop the bike once, but it was slow to the ground and the bar landed in gravel and dirt. Thanks for reading. Any suggestions on what else to look for or how I could adjust it an eighth of an inch would be cool.

 

I'd make sure the wheels are perfectly aligned, maybe try the string method. Short of that I'd guess it's your imagination based on what you've said.

 

His wheels have to be aligned. The bike has a single side swing arm so the wheels are always in perfect alignment unless something is bent.

I'm used to 2 sided swing arms, thanks for reminding me of yet another reason to like my VFR.

 

Could be the forks/front wheel aren't in correct alignment.
Loosen the axle a bit, loosen the upper tree pich bolts (leave the lowers tight)
Bounce the front end a bit and tighten it all back up. This will usually line it all back up. You can tell if the trees are twisted by supporting the front of the engine and removing the front tire. If the axle lines up perfectly it's all in alignment. (other Italian brands have this procedure as an everytime you remove the front wheel exercise!)
I've dropped bikes in soft stuff and had the trees twist. Makes things feel weird. Easy to cure.

 

^ What Gatekeeper said. just don't loosen up to much. just enough to release any built up tension. have some on sit on the passenger seat while on the center stand, doing this keeps the weight off the front.
