the general rule of thumb for bike windscreens is that the angle of the screen should match the angle of the fork (as in be parallel with). here's a pic of my bike which shows this pretty well. of course, the height of the screen as well as your own play key roles in determining whether the air will pass over your head or hit you in the face, as does the width to some degree.

a picture of the bike with you on it in your normal riding position would give us a better idea of what needs to be done.

finally, keep in mind that this IS a motorcycle we're talking about, so you are always going to have at least SOME degree buffeting at highway speeds...you just have to find the level that you are comfortable with. note also that for longer rides (say 75 miles plus) you are going to want to shift position now and again to keep muscles from cramping. this too can help alleviate your fatigue. and have you considered exercising your neck muscles to better withstand such forces?
