I had exactly the same problem, you're not alone.

The bars felt like as you describe and after a couple of rides I just couldn't get on with them like that. I ended up 'straightening' the bars by loosening the fork slider pinch bolts (2 on each side where the fork tube meets the slider), holding the front wheel straight and slowly turning the bars to the left.

Takes a bit of trial and error to get them right but I'm satisfied with mine now and they feel straight.

Just make sure you tighten the bolts back up to the correct torque (25Nm) and do it top bolt, bottom bolt, top bolt etc until they're both tight.
