I had a similar experience (6'1) with the taller screens on the previous generation F model. The buffeting was simply too bad at interstate speeds.Bike is amazing. I’m going from a KTM 1290 Super Adventure. Like really really good.
I had the dealer install the Suzuki taller windshield and heated grips before I picked it up
it’s summer and hot so no report on the grips
The taller windshield is terrible for me. I’m 6’ tall. The buffeting is really bad. If I was 5’10” or shorter or 6’2” or taller it would be great. That said I’m switching back to the oem short windshield for the rest of the ride.
BTW why did you choose choose the GSXS over the 1290 SA? I was very interested in the KTM but ended up buying a slightly used V-Strom (got a very good deal). The GSXS is awesome but not as comfortable as adventure bikes on longer trips.
