Cool Street glide windshield

I have a 2011 SG. with stock seat and windshield. I am 5'-6" and ride 90% of the time 2-up.
Question: will a slightly taller windshield cut down on the buffeting? or is 2-up part of the equasion? The buffeting is there, but not totally annoying. I do not want to go to high because I like looking over vs through the shield. Any suggestions on size/brand/ etc???

I went with a 6inch. I wanted one that was little taller but not too tall. I am 5'10 and ride solo. I also really love the design

A shield you can still look over with a re-curve on top will help. You get a lot of the buffeting coming from under each side of the fairing. Start with a taller shield, then progress to adjustable fairing wind deflectors and finally fork deflectors if wind is still an issue for you. Different strokes, I have a clearview on my bike.
