If the wind was steady from the side, I think the bike and rider will assume the same "lean angle"- with or without mass.
Then again, I have never ridden in exactly the same steady sidewind because of traffic, building and hill shadows.

Well, if I make use of the lower sections too I'll have the option to experiment with my weight distribution and see which I prefer .
