Get a Clearview. You can add up to 5" to the standard height. The Triumph lower air deflectors also reduce turbulence around your head.
Agree. I'm 6'1" and the Roadster is just barely tall enough for me; moreover, his description of headshake strongly suggests updraft buffeting is involved. Over-top wind can be noisy & unpleasant but does not all by itself cause that low-frequency shaking which blurs vision and gives headaches--at least not IME. If updraft is part of the problem the fork deflectors are the solution.
