How much higher would you like the wind to hit?
If it's hitting you in the forehead, I would think 3 inches or so more might just do it.
Take a tape measure out there & calculate it while sitting on the bike.
You probably want to just peek over the top of the shield, not always have to look through it.
My husband just went through this same thing with his Ultra.
He measured it then bought one online.

Rizzini, how ya doin ? I see you're much taller than I am(5'10") I just bought a Clearview shield w/recurve 8" light smoke tint. I can see through it and it works very well, no comparison to stock shield. Not the cheapest, but it does work very well; excellent fit and finish. Good luck with your selection...Ride Safe

Look out at an object 50' ahead of your bike. Your eyes should be 1-2" above the top of the windshield. I am guessing 8" at a minimum and possibly the 10" but not sure what that seat does to your position.
My guess is based on stock seat.
