Crosswinds and the D675.

I have been riding every chance I get this spring. Weather, like today, is quite spotty with the wind being a particular concern. Since my mishap with the HEAVY wind last fall on the 955i, I am a bit sensitive to getting pushed around by the wind on the open road but love the 675 completely. Is there something I can do that will make the bike more sure fotted in cross winds? I already have had two instances where I have changed lanes without trying with wind gust of around 25/30 mph.
This is where my suspension is set:
anodised tube flush with clamp (fork cap above clamp)
Pre-load, 5 lines showing
Rebound, 7 out from full stiff
Compression, 9 out from full stiff
Sag, 33mm (acceptable range 32-38mm)
Rear:
Pre-load, 7.5mm thread showing (1.5 full rotations backed off)
Rebound, 7 out from full stiff
Compression, 12 out from full stiff
Sag, 32mm (acceptable range 28-32mm)

This setting seems great in good weather conditions and just eats up everything the roads give.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
