Quit putting all of your goodies in the left panniers and the problem will
go away...
Actually I have not experienced this on my ST. My '98 Thunderbird Sport did
this a little due to the (heavy) exhaust on the right side and some owners
on the TBS website complained about it actually cupping the tires. Since I
wore the sides off my tires well before the centers, this was not a problem.
(I guess this may be another advantage of living in Southern California and
not the Great Plains region of the U.S.  :) ).
Did you get the bike used? Check the headstock to see if the fork stops have
been pranged. This would indicate a possible tweak in the forks, yolk
(triple clamps) alignment or (God forefend) the frame.
