There are a lot of after market windshields available. One of the most popular is Long Ride Shields and they have great prices and sales. Check out their web site. I 'm about the same size as you and I have a 10" recurve on my bike but probably could have done with a 8" or 9".

I have the 7" LRS Ultra as does my buddy who's your size. Works great to move the wind up and over your head but to get rid of the turbulence, fork deflectors did the trick.

First and foremost, fork fangs made a HUGE difference on my SGS. That and a 7" WindSplitter knockoff completely eliminated helmet buffeting for me.

Fangs, triple tree deflector, and 7" LRS works for me.
5' 10" and 30"inseam as well.

My suggestion is to never buy a tinted windshield if you ever expect to look through it. In bright daylight they don't diminish the view much but they never improve the view. The problem is your eyes adjust to the ambient light all around you but you are looking through the darkened windshield. If it was possible to dim the light everywhere except where you are looking then it would improve your view. That's what car tinting laws are all about. In cars you can tint any window but the windshield (local laws vary). This way your eyes are adjusted for dim light but you are looking through a clear windshield. Never tint a windshield. That's the law for cars and should be the law for motorcycles. Some motorcycle windshields are very low but when I'm going very slow on a gravel driveway I want to look right in front of my cycle.

Default If you're 5-10"

I would look at 7inch wind sitter or the 6" or 8" KlockWerks Flare
