Default Cruiser Wind Weaving on Highway

Now that I am making new strides with my Mean Streak. I would like to get an opinion of what I ran into on the highway.

Some sportbike friends and I went to Capitol Raceway Sunday to see the drags. As I was following them down...I was making a slow turn on the highway when I noticed that gusts of wind would blow the handle bars around a bit. It was a new feeling that I haven't seen on my Gixxer.

It was just unexpected. A new feeling. It might be because of the new windshield I put on which is connected to the handle bars.

Maybe a steering stablizer? What do you think? Maybe my shield needs adjusted? Also on the beltway the slow lane goes about 90mph. I was in the slow lane.
