Default Taller windscreen for Fat Bob

It's been cold here so I have been using the HD quick release windscreen that came with my '10 Fat Bob when I bought it a couple months ago. I'm about 6'3" tall and get a lot of buffeting from the wind at highway speeds so I did a couple little tests yesterday. Arm across chest, no difference so wind probably isn't coming from below. Hand out across top of windscreen (making it taller) = zero buffeting. So I'm thinking a taller windscreen is what I need. Looking at Clearview Shields so far but would like any other suggestions. I want to be able to reuse my HD quick release hardware.
Thanks!
