Why would the Rocker be any different than any other softail???? Heck with the 240 on the back it is more stable.

The Rocker handles great at highway speeds even in cross winds. You might feel like you are getting blown around a little but the bike is definately holding the line. It's been said already but you can anticipate cross winds and their direction by watching what is going on up ahead - flags blowing - trees bending - etc... Just be ready for it and relax.

Fatboy won't budge with a 250lb fatboy on it. Just hate getting caught on the freeway at 70 getting passed by truckers in the rain. Makes the butt pucker something fierce.
