Is your Dash/Fairing Stay off centered?

This might be one of those strange questions but I searched for a while and didn't find an answer.

My new-to-me 1199 seems to have a dash that is off centered by a hair. Its not too much but once I noticed it there was no way to ignore it anymore.

I am wondering if 1) the issue is with just my bike, may be the bike was dropped by previous owner and not repaired properly or 2) all bikes are this way.

I have tried my best to hold the handle bars just straight so the steering damper and triple clamp is all aligned, yet the dash seems light it is a hair to the right and not perfectly at the center (when looking from rider's perspective)

I have tried to find proof to substantiate my 1st theory (dropped bike and repaired) but I am unable to find any sign that ANY part was repaired or even replaced. All nuts and bolts look like they have never even been removed. (fairing stay or triple clamp) -

O.C.D is a real condition

No, mine is straight, the fairing bracket being cast I doubt it's bent, most likely it would crack, have to disassemble and check to see why it's off

Has dash been replaced???

Well originally the dash was blamed (and replaced) for what turned out to be the left control unit failure...so...its possible???

oh!

also, the left handle bar is pushed out more than the right one.. so the one the dealer would have messed with isn't aligned with the right one..

I will get in touch with the previous owner and see if he remembers anything

well after further inspection it turns out that the left handle bar, then serviced by Ducati dealer for recall, is not "straight" or aligned with the right one. So, when the rider holds the handlebars by "feel" so they feel straight, the entire steering is crocked which makes the dash seem tilted by a hair to the right...

problem solved...
