Doing the opposite helped me.  I installed a Zero Gravity Double Bubble 
screen (http://www.triumphnet.com/st/acc/zero/index.htm).  Although this 
put more of my upper body in the air stream, it "smoothed" the airflow and 
ended up reducing the buffeting at Interstate speeds, especially at helmet 
level (6'3").  The increased wind pressure on my upper torso and shoulders 
reduces the effective weight on my wrists.  It may be worth a try for you.

YMMV (I have a large "aerodynamic cross-section")
