Thanks for the tips guys! Alekker, I don't have saddlebags and haven't ridden using the tank bag yet, so I have the mass down as far as it can go. Also ride with leathers and ARAI or Shoei race helmets. Great point though. Budo, when the wind hit, I did use that method by using the legs more than the arms. I did not suffer the same fate as my 955i, but it'll take some getting used to not trying to wrestle the bike when it's going sideways. Keeping the arms low and loose does help. Had the Bonneville out in it today and the same type of gust did not even phase it. Of course the Bonnie is like a chopper compared to the D675 in wheelbase, weight and rake. Tire size helps too. I just love the 675 sooo much and would really like to rack up the miles on it. Thanks again guys!
