DRIVING in the wind

Stan, I wouldn't risk it either driving into the wind or having to deal with cross winds especially if you're going to be encountering steady sustained winds of 40mph and gusting to 60mph. I think I would just leave the Northstar Laredo at home and ride it out and then go when the winds calm down a bit. It's just too risky otherwise.

My suggestion is that if you can tell its getting too bad than find a place to pull over and wait it out.
My mods are listed in my signature and I am able to drive in some very heavy winds without having it bother us. The only time I ever pulled over is when it was a head on wind and our fuel mileage was suffering considerably. Never had issues with heavy side winds.
You might be able to stiffen things up with additional rear mods....ie. Supersprings, Stable Loads, better shocks.

Don't. IMO with those kind of winds I would sit tight until the winds die down. Otherwise you are looking at a very missreable drive that may not end well.

go slow or park it

Don't..
