    First, understand I'm no mechanic, wrencher, technician, or Mr. Wizard. Having said that, I'd say DPS.

    The bike pulled to the right after you hit a ridge in the blacktop...
    Are you sure that it wasn't you getting shifted around in the saddle as a result, and adding some unintended steering input?

    Okay! I wasn't sure of what it was that happened...
    You were towing your 622 at the time? Could a crosswind have tweaked it enough so that the tail wagged the dog a bit?

    I doubt it was the trailer. Even in high winds I've never had the trailer get jiggity on me.

    I'd check the front end over to make sure that what should be tight; is!
    A-arm mounting bolts
    Shock mounts
    tie-rod ends
    anti-swaybar connections
    I might have missed one; but that's a good start.

    That's the power steering unit...
    There was a recall for this issue back in 2010.
