Cross wind is definitely felt on the Fatboy. MY '07 sporty did not have that issue.

 

I have spoke rims on my FB and I feel it getting pushed around....

 

ummmm...cars, semis, boats you name it is affected by wind. Why wouldn't a motorcycle, be it fatboy or anything else? Not much of a mystery I'm thinking.

 

&nbsp\\;
Don't ride on windy days then....
&nbsp\\;
I've ridden all sorts of bikes in all sorts of winds (cross or not). I don't think the FatBoy is affected anymore than any other bike I have ridden.

 

Hey! Two wind topics one day! Can't wait till the cold season.
&nbsp\\;
I'll be all "I heard that I'm more cold on a bike than in a car, is this true!?" [>:]

 

It's a falsehood that has been struck down many times, but resurfaces every month or two.

 

Consider the overall mass of the bike, and the distance off the ground of the main mass, compared to the mass of the wheels and their proximity to the ground... don't think it matters one iota whether they're spoked, solid, bullet holes, whatver style - the bike is going to get pushed around in a stiff crosswind.
