Chas, I'm looking at those pics and I think I see a problem. You wrapped all the bar tape around the same place at the end of the right handlebar. You are supposed to run it on an angle so that it progresses along the whole length of the bar, and on both sides. All wrapped in one place like that means it creates an unbalanced wind drag so you end up fighting the bike's tendency to pull to the right.
