I recently purchased a 68 bird that leans to the right side quite a bit. I've checked the suspension and evrything looks o.k. I've even had the frame looked at and it looks straight. What could possibly be the problem?? Anyone have any suggestions?? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'd be looking at the springs and bushings first, They get tired over the years. When you say the frame looks good did you have it checked on a frame machine? Thats really the only way too tell if the frame was tweaked.

Sorry to butt in, but I've got the lean problem too, even though I have new front coils and air shocks on the rear. How much ballpark might a frame check cost me? And, if it's bent, do I really want to know? Is it fixable, in other words? How much?
