Taller, wider W/S? I have the taller, wider F4 for my RT and raising it up cured that. Tom
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?
maybe you use the Can-Am outlander delux fairing - they have 3 different sizes of windshields for it .. works perfect, also if you have to ride in the rain !!
Outlander fairing - Fox-shock - BajaRon Swaybar - Hankook tire/ back - 165/50 Imperial tires front & longer front shocks - GIVI Topase - Shad sidecases -heated grips - new seats
For decades and many bikes, my go to windshield supplier has been 7Jurock. Great product, people and prices. I never paid over $170 shipped, and that was for a custom made to my specs. Whatever w/s you get, order a flip - reverse curve at the top - it makes like it's a taller w/s than it is. I am 5-10 and have an 18" (measured vertically along the center, top to bottom) 7Jurock with a flip. I can see well over it and the wind is right at the air scoop at the top of my helmet. Perfect! Note that it utilizes the stock brackets - nice.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

1. Keep your head out of the airstream by tucking down instead of sitting up. Like sport bikes
2. Get a much taller and wider windshield so you can sit up and be out of the airstream
3. Get a long sleeve shirt with a longer tail so you can tuck it in.

Do you by chance have the wind deflector hand guards installed?
Well before you can fix the problem you need to determine where the wind is coming from and if your shirt is blowing up I suspect the turbulence is coming from under the shield. When you get up to speed take your left hand and hold it flat next to the gas tank, if you can fell the air rushing up into your hand it won't matter how tall of a shield you put on, the problem will still exist.
