If I squat down or sit up straight, it helps. I am 5'10" but have long legs and short torso so may not even sit as high as you do on the seat.

I had a deflector screen on my Nighthawk 750 which was lower and got the same turbulence at helmet level which is why I went with the larger street ex

Drop it right down to the headlight and you should be able to move that airflow down around your chin. I have mine down at the level of the top of the headlight but in front of it slightly so it does not touch. Then I angled the shield back close to the gauges. This gave me a wind flow right at the tops of my shoulders. I am 6'.
When I left for work this morning it was 45 degrees, when I got to work in Ann Arbor it was 34 degrees. It was nice and comfy ride. Love this shield

I have it placed 1 1/2 inches above the headlight ring. I may drop it down to see if that makes any difference.
