Safety is always relative, so until you define it, its hard to say what you should do. As a general comment on design it is posible to design anything poorly. and if you find yourself in the midle of a tornado or a hurican it won't matter much what you are driving, it will be tossed around by the wind and distroyed. You the driver/rider may or may not servive? In 1957 when the FIM banned dust bin fairings most racing was done on normal roads lined with trees and other hard objects. The speed improvements resulting from full dust bin fairings in the absence of other safety provisions found on modern roads and racetracks as well as improvements to tires, suspensions and brakes etc led to many fatalities. The easyest solution was to slow the bikes down hence the baning of the dust bin fairings. although the ban was a solution of sorts it was not the only problem being solved. The almost total asence of safety features found on modern roads and race tracks was the main problem not the dust bin fairing.
My two bits says you should proceed carefully in small steps until you are comfortable with the results. Start at the back of the bike behind the rider.
