Tweaked front end
After dropping my 900 awhile back I noticed that the front end is mis-aligned with the fairing and gauges. she tracks straight and true and rides the same, she just looks crooked.

Narrowminded,
First, loosen the front axle clamps, loosen the lower triple clamps, loosen the steering stem nut, bounce the front end up and down, re-tighten everything and check again. If still looks mis-aligned, pull the fairing off and check all the fairing mounts. May have bent something a bit. Also, check the handle bar on the side that dropped, may be bent.
Hope this helps.
