Just wondering if it's me or has anyone else noticed the bike being moved in a crosswind? The bike is a 2008 FatBoy with the cast wheels. Now I have to say I haven't been riding in several years and just bought this bike a few weeks ago. I think it has got to be the wheels cathing the wind.

There IS a difference

Northside is on crack.

Didnt notice a difference from Fatboy to Road King. Still get pushed around.

If you read what I said before making insulting remarks you'd know I didn't say a thing about being pushed around by the wind, it just "feels" wierd in the wind. He asked if anyone else felt this. I did. I rode the same bike before and after. I felt a significant difference. So I'm on crack. The difference between a Road King and a Fatboy is more relevant? I ain't exactly a new rider. I have 3 Harleys licenced and insured. I've been doing rides to both coasts for over 35 years, have built frame up choppers and wore a rather infamous patch for many of those years. Fatboy cast wheels feel wierd in the wind compared to spokes on one of my my bikes. I know the difference.

All these guys can tell you the cast wheels aren't a problem, they ARE! I bought a new '02 Fatboy. I was always feeling something wierd in moderate winds. It never did anything bad, it just always felt like it was going to. It wasn't a comfortable ride, and I'd been riding Harleys since 1970. I was going to sell it, but tried spoke wheels as a last resort. I put on the new wheels and went for a ride on the interstate as a front was coming in, real windy. It felt just like any other bike in the wind now. I could relax. Huge difference. I rode the same bike with both sets of wheels. There IS a difference
