A full body fairing is very feasible. Just start with your state's regulations for seat height; most places 27" is minimum. The profile should be an inverted wing to minimize lift and drag. Use a spreadsheet to create a 3D graph of the shape. The materials would be ABS skin and foam laminate ribs. The sliding tail box would use heavy duty drawer rollers. Safety issues include color of body, marker lighting, and an inertial reel lap belt. No, I'm not kidding about the lapbelt.
