Braid it or tuck in the helmet strap .
Or use several small black bands
you can find at Wallyworld in the
hair care section . That's what I do .

Deflector

It was a little disappointing. Only helped a little with the wind coming up over the tank. Seems to blow more engine heat back on you than anything else.

Well ****...
I guess it'll be braids n bands or some other such nonsense if it doesn't work.
I was a bit concerned about deflecting air flow away from the motor

Yea. I found a new old stock one at my local dealer, for 13 bucks. I'm glad that's all it was. Now I'm thinking about the road glide deflectors that fit up on the crash bar in front of the tank. Maybe somebody that has those will chime in with a review.

I had good luck on my Road King with the windshield on with the 'fangs' that mount on the forks. Seems like I could smoke a little smoke while riding at 60. You have to get used to the look, though.

I have the road glide deflectors that mount to the tank bolts and crash bars, gads deflectors and his triple tree deflector.

I rode 300 miles yesterday at speeds from a crawl to 75 on the interstate. I don't have lower fairings and have no head buffeting.
Probably will not help your beard situation but it makes a road glide without lowers more enjoyable.

1/4-20 bolts and chase the threads with something.
