Never felt it. The bike's heavy enough to withstand all but gale force winds apparently. I have felt it on lighter bikes with solid wheels. Not this one.
How bad is the fatboy against wind pressure are the solid wheels?
Pretty much everyone who rides one, and dealers who get asked this a thousand times a year all report the exact same thing:
It's not affected by it at all.

All of this, it's one of the biggest myths out there..

I do not notice any difference when I ride my Fatboy or my other bikes with spokes. I’ve ridden them back to back in the same windy conditions and I’m calling the myth total bull.
I think you misunderstood him Stormin. Unless I'm mistaken he was saying that the idea that the FB would be affected by the wind more than other bikes due to its solid wheels is a myth.
