sidecar in cross winds
how does sidecars handle in crosswinds.somedays its bad on a bike.the badlands is one place. 2nd is i 70 can be a pain.crosse if once with 70 mph winds,had people in cars that would pull in wayside with me betting when i would get blown off road,ha ha.made it to hutchinson ,kansas.al my arms could take.but back then it was just my old lady and me on a springer softtail loaded down. times are changing as i get older.
The heavier the machine, the easier to control in crosswinds.
A bike with a fairing and tourpak will also blow around as opposed to one without a windshield. Whichever you choose, make sure you have or get an E-Z Steer.

WHEN HELP IS OFFERED, A SIMPLE "THANK YOU" IS APPRECIATED.
Like Jim said above, the extra weight seems to help it stick to the road in windy conditions. Never tried an ez steer, but that might also help?
Been riding a sidecar equipped Electra Glide for 20+ years and its nothing a person with average upper body strength couldn't handle.
Unless you're caught in hurricane, or tornado like winds for 500 miles of riding...
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???
