If your handlebars don't appear to be straight, the pinch bolts on the lower triple tree may be loose or the rubber handle bar riser bushings need to be replaced. Either way, you'll have to remove the "Tins" from the front end of your Fat Boy to access this area.

Additional "sounds" or "noise" from modified motors are fairly "normal" when the engines are at full operating temperatures. Changing you brand or weight of engine oil might have a slight effect in sound reduction, but if everything else seems okay then I'd just ride and enjoy it and keep an "ear" on things.
Idle adjustment is through the ECM and factory set. If you are having idle issues there are potentionally a number of reasons why*. If you are just wanting to change your idle speed then you would need to purchase an interface such as the Screamin Eagle Race Tuner.

Throttle Position Sensor
Injector malfunction
Intake Air Temperature Sensor
