Default 6ft1 + tallboy seat = windshield help!

Damn, Ok I will not give up my tallboy seat now that its broken in just way to comfortable. But I really need a better windshield. I put the stock one back on that measures about 11inches when installed. Still getting downward pressure on the helmet. I have lowers & the H-D Adjustable Air Deflector Kit for the fairing. Any help would be great.

I am 6'4" and use a LRS 10" Med Tint Classic and have an like new 11" Ultra sitting in garage. I can see over both but prefer the 10", I would say 8" at most but it is all about personal preference so.....
