My right hand wants to come in towards the center when I ride.  If I move my handle a bit to the left the problem should be fixed or at least made better, but will this alter the handling a lot? 

Maybe the handle needs to be moved a little to the left anyways; I don't know cuz I just went by my eye when I was centering it. Any suggestions welcome.

Are these the original stock handlebars?

My stock handlebars had index marks from the factory, near where they clamp to the upper triple clamps.  Line those up with the clamps and you're back to the factory setting.

No they are handle bars from a Brutale; no marks, just a hole (in the middle I guess)

I would suggest then. a tape measure. Measure from the clamps to the bar ends, adjust to make left and right match.
