My bike pulled to the left from day one until I had my engine out of the frame, since then it tracks DEAD straight and no longer wobbles when hands off.

I can go from (insert any speed) to about 7 mph with no hands in a perfect line now.

I originally suspected tire, but it turns out the engine was slightly off when mounted causing the issue.
 
Relax the mounts while you have a atv style jack under her. Then goe thru the process of tightening the mount making sure when you get to the front the bolt goes thru the engine freely by hand before you torque it.
!st of all none of the roads are perfectly flat so the bikesalways going to run off center
 
Or ride the Nullarbor Plain that has the worlds longest section of rail track 478 Kilometres (297miles)without one bend and Australia's straightest section of sealed Road 146 Kilometres (91 miles) and almost dead flat with no cross fall, no need for cross fall to shed the water as it hardly ever rains,
I have been told that the Truckies in the old Leyland,Foden and Mack trucks used to lock the throttles on the trucks and stand on the running boards and steer the trucks through the door to escape the heat in the cabins, OK at 40MPHmax speed :):)
 
That Nullarbor would be a heck of an adventure!

I have crossed it a few times over the years in trucks ,but the most memorable was in 1986 a Solo trip on my then new Harley Super glide 1340 Shovel, 80Mph hour after hour and never missed a beat, with 10litres of spare fuel and a bed roll and nylon tent, but by this time the Eyre Highway was completely tar sealed ,it would have been an adventure in the 40s and fifties ,
but a trip every Aussie should make

And some motors get installed cockeyed. Some get cockeyed from installing crash bars whether dealer or other. It is much easier and cheaper to check that the engine is in straight then it is to replace the asphalt
