...  because the wind pressure shifts from arm to arm just slightly tweaking the steering and knocking me off course.

If the wind pushing you around is affecting your steering, you are probably holding on to tight. Instead of holding onto the bike to fight the wind, just go with it. As an excercise, you could try practising takeing one hand off the bars at a time and feeling how the rest of your body reacts. When the rest of your body barely notices, then the wind wont bother you.

Good advice. I recently went on an enhanced / advanced riding course and i commented to the instructor on how in 20 + years of riding i had suffered from pain in my right wrist when riding anything from a GSXR through to the Fazer 1000. He stated that i was probably holding on too tight aswell. I eased my hold on the bars up a little bit and the pain disappeared. Its a hard habit to break and i still get that pain sometimes but its always at that point that i realise i am holding on too tight again  :rolleyes
