update, for SGS..
5'9, full face helmut, and experiencing severe buffeting ( eyes hard to focus etc) at 65-70 mph and up. I installed the HD fork mounted wind deflectors ( remained with standard 3' stock windshield ) and the buffeting is gone.
I rode up to 85 mph in heavy winds into and out from and these shields rock. I may buy a higher LRW but now there is no need. Also I love the look of the deflectors which are high quality chrome pieces.

2014 SG buffeting
5"11, LRS 9", stock seat.
Over 80 the buffeting was pretty annoying. Even with the 9" WS. I opened my visor and tried stretching up and then crouching, no difference. Not much spill over the top of the WS reached my eyes or helmet.
So I stuck my hand under my chin, fingers forward of the helmet, parallel to the road and it diminished pretty fast.
Not wanting to insult the Italian Americans I drive buy, I ordered the JES fork deflectors.

They look kinda Fugly but work well. Up to 90 mph and no buffeting to speak of.
Had to bend them to clear the motor crash bar.
