My son is 6'2" as well. He has a Dyna Supersport. We put a set of the clear lower type small shields that tighten onto the forks. What a difference they made. He can now comfortably ride with me on much longer rides. Before, he had so much wind come up below his windshield and around his tank that it became miserable after a while. Would blow his legs apart and just beat him after a while. They were much cheaper that trading bikes :-). Pic below
