Fat Boy Front Wheel Wind Sheer?
I'm looking to buy an '08 and Fat Boy is on short list of possibles--severalowners and friends of owners I have talked to over the last year or so expressed problems with wind gusts from the side catching the solid front wheel and causing stablity issues,so they replaced with non-solid wheel. A salesman responded to this question that there are "more rumours amongHarley owners than drunks in a bar" and that is not a legitimate concern Please let me know the facts based on your experience. PS--I suspect this has been discussed before but I am not sure how to search old threads, sorry.

Solid Wheels no Problem. Rode in 30mph cross wind and stay in my lane no problem. I do not think a different whel would have had any effect on the cross wind handling of the bike.
I think it is just in the head of those that complain about it. I think it is just an excuse to buy new wheels really.
