If it gets bad in cross winds you can start enlarging the foot holes to vent the lift (side) of the newly formed wing when the wind makes an angle of attack.
That is a possibility. I am also trying to think of a few other possibilities which would allow for the least compromise in aero. Actual cross winds are not really that worrisome to me, what worries me is the buffeting you get off of semi trucks. this is an issue for my little bike even without the fairing.
