Excellent helmet, but not good for highway speeds without a faring on the bike

I recently bought a Honday Fury. Reviews on the helmet are excellent across the board thus I bought this helmet before the bike so I could take it out for a test drive. Big mistake. Overall I LOVE the helmet. Feels great, doesn't bind anywhere. Fantastic for riding around town or back country roads. Just not on a highway unless you have a faring on your bike.
They do run big, so if you usually wear a large, go with a medium. I didn't & now need to wear a B-Ball cap (backwards) or a skull cap or such to make up the difference. That does help alot, but anything over 60 & the helmet almost becomes a liability. I wear glasses so the thought of easily putting the glasses on with a helmet was appealing. Visor does help alot with wind over 30mph or so & when it rains. Any eyeglass wearer knows it's very hard to ride when your glasses are wet and fogging up. Visor will not fog for me, ever.
Problem is the helmet doesn't work so well at highway speeds. The sun visor has to come off over 40, and even then anything over 50 & it wants to fly off. Even with a B-Ball cap or skull cap to tighten up the fit, the helmet just wants to come off. As it does the visor rides up to eventually uncover your glasses & eyeballs just enough for
