Default Electra Glide beard control!

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, but has anyone come up with a way to deflect the air that blows your beard up into your eyes? I saw some small deflectors on the lower outside edges of a Road Glide fairing that looked that they might help? It's fun for a while, but not all day! Appreciate any ideas (besides losing the beard!)

Start by checking these guys out-

If they don't have something that may help, I'd be surprised.

I haven't used any of their products, but they seem to get positive comments (usually) on the forum. And they often have sales around holidays.

I have these mounted on my Ultra and don't have too much turbulence in the chest/face area. I definitely notice it when there not on though. So I just leave 'em on.

DK has some deflectors that attach to the front tank bolts that help with air coming up over the tank. You might check those out. Fork fangs might be another option.

On my Road King Classic, the "Trifecta" of a proper height LRS shield, fork deflectors, and the triple tree "Bowl" deflector and beard lift is gone. Mine was mostly coming over the front of the fuel tank, perhaps brought on by negative pressure created by the windshield. Some still comes around the headlight nacelle, but it seems to equal out.
In cooler temps, ride around and an ungloved hand will find the place you need to address.

I also have the clear ones and they work awesomely! There's absolutely no turbulence to speak of.

Use a rolled up hankerchief and tie it around your neck, making sure your beard is tucked under the hanky, Works great if wife or someone else ties the hanky.
