This is about the biggest boy out there, and if it doesn't get rid of buffetting what will? I'm 6'2" so if you are getting buffetting at 5'10" I know I will. I really figured this big bad boy would be the answer for me. Anybody have any good news they can offer here?
I made an update to this thread on 8/19 that says I raised my windshield brackets to the very top of the fork and that eliminated alot of the buffeting. Also a lot of people report that by installing lowers, that reduces buffeting also. I do not have lowers on mine so I cant report back, but after a 500+ mile trip, with the 21" windshield mounted as high as it would go, the buffeting was much more tolerable. However, you're 6'2" so it might still be an issue for you.
