Default Beard problem

This might seem like a weird post, but I have a little problem that maybe someon else here has encontered. I have a fairly long beard. I ride a RKC with a full windshield. The problem that I have is the wind come up from undeneath and blows my beard uo into my face and kinda beats me in my cheeks. If it gets any longer it will be in my eyes (and I'm not cutting it). Does anyone know of anything that you can get that cuts off the airflow from below? Some kind of add on to the windshield or something.
