I think if you lowered the seat and sat in an upright position, you could have a complete fairing over the top of the motorcycle. It would increase your frontal area marginally, but even an extremely unlikely 20% increase is not a big deal, because the CD could go reasonably to 0.14 +-0.02. Vetter's fairing is already in an upright position, but the side and top openings are like driving a car with the top down sacrificing much of its aerodynamic potential.
The good things would be never worrying about rain (motorcyclist look miserable driving in the rain.) Better aero, mpg, emissions.
Bad things would be public opinion/styling, the usual. Crosswinds.
It could be done with open foot/leg wells and sliding the fairing forward and backward for entry.
