Put a helmet on and you will have buffering problems. (The bigger the helmet, the worse it is)(Skid Lids are like no helmet)
I too am 6' and when I tried riding with the stock Street Glide shield I couldn't stand the wind noise in my ears.
Like you said it's all different for different people.

The right shield and some fairing wings can cure most peoples buffeting. As others have said, I'd definitely look at working on fixing some inexpensive things to fix the buffeting before you go to extremes. Good luck!
