And yes, I’ve done that very thing lots of times with all brands and styles of motorcycles for what ever reason. The issue might be in the bars or it could be in the down tubes, or a little of both. No more out than it was I wouldn’t have even gave it second thought, tweak it ride on.

Believe it or not, there is a tightening sequence for this very problem. Unless it's been in an accident, the triple tree is almost certainly good. The risers are rubber mounted, and can be misaligned. Loosen the fasteners below the upper triple tree, loosen the bar clamp, tighten from the bottom up, first the riser bolts, then the rear of the bar clamp, then the front of the bar clamp. Works. Weird, but it works.
