Inspired by Court's photo of him taking a photo while riding, I gave it a shot except that the bike leans to the left everytime I try it. I thought it was because of my saddlebag load so I removed the bags, well it still leans to the left....
Any thoughts?????
I have done it many times with other bikes but not the Uly yet..

So your taking a picture with your right hand? Your left hand then has nothing to balance it out on the handlebar and so you lean to the left as more pressure is applied.

If you don't notice it with both hands on the grips then that would be my guess anyway.

What do you mean your bike leans to the left? Can you post a picture as an example?

You're supposed to hold the camera steady with BOTH hands.

That should do it.

I had a 650 BSA in '65 that would do that. Ended up being the rear swing arm slightly out of square. It was not visible to the naked eye. My 2 cents.

Maybe try listening to Rush Limbaugh. That should fix it.

Well, I think the Slime tire inflator in my top box may have been the culprit. It was all the way to the left side of the top box so I took it out and I'll try again tomorrow. It was leaning with both hands off the bars- and BTW I listen to Rush everyday! Beck and Hannity too : )
