Re the hands going numb, have you considered cruiser bars? I recently put [flipped] Soma Sparrow bars on my commuter and am quite happy with them. They put my hands in a very natural position. Not good for winter or off-roading due to lack of leverage, but great for around town.
As far as the upright fairings go, I'll just leave this here...
The Recumbent Bicycle and Human Powered Vehicle Information Center
There is also likely some good upright fairing info in the early
IHPVA Archives, but I'm too lazy right now to sift through them.
