Exclamation Solid wheels

I'm alm ost 100% sure I want the 2009 Dyna Fat Bob but I'm concern because of the Aluminum Slotted disc wheel. I heard from more experience riders that when a large truck passes or on windy day it will be hard to steer with a solid or almost solid wheel. Should I be concern?

I've noticed that the slotted/solid wheels catch a little more cross wind than spokes. It's not a big difference. Riding in a strong cross winds sucks either way. Riding last year with a buddy who has a street bob it was easy to see the cross wind pushed me a little more than him, but it's not a big enough factor not to buy a Fat Bob.

You know, I haven't noticed any issues with cross drafts etc, but then again I haven't ridden many other bikes on windy days on the highway. It's a 700lb bike - unless you live in the plains/desert, I don't think you'll have much trouble.
