I got stuck and had to turn the apex around..Pulling on the skiis..Anyway I noticed that the handlebars now are out of line with the skiis..Like when there straight the sled turns a lil..Does anyone know how to fix this?? Its only slight and the skiis look alligned. Its just the bars need to be turned a lil to match-up..Any help would be appreciated..
 
I would start by checking your ski alignment (Even though you say it looks OK.)... Something has been tweeked. If after setting the toe you still find the handle bars off, there is an adjustment you can make at the rod connecting the steering colum to the pivot point behind the brake rotor. Jam nuts need to be loostened (just like at the tie rods for the skis) and then by turning the connecting shaft you'll be able to change the handle bars to match the ski direction.

Just to reiterate.... a proper alignment begins at the skis and ends with handle bar positioning.
 
The steering stems are made of soft tubing and can twist. I had this issue allready,and i just turned the bars the opposite way to the stop,and carefully twisted it back.
