I've owned 3 bikes with windshields and all have had that "reflection". It's not glare. It bothered me for about a minute. Then I realized I'm riding a 1000 pound, $30k motorcycle at 80 mph and I should be looking through the windshield instead of looking at the windshield. Get some self control.
Guess you sure told me. Boy, is my face ever red.

Kinda insulting isn't it?
Technically, you're supposed to look OVER the windshield.

I have the stock one on currently with no issue but have two Long Ride Shield (LRS) models on order, the Ultra and the Javelin. (The windsplitter I bought didn't work as well as I was told and took it off.) LRS is a sale right now and I would bet either of those would work well for you as they're not the same angles as stock.

FWIW, me 5'10" HD Hammock Seat. Windshield (9") hits me right under bottom of nose which is how it should be as I can duck in under it if necessary.
Proper fitament is everything.
Check out Long Ride Shields. Highly Recommended.
