It depends, it needs a certificate to be legal or I would need to get it certified.
However in that case I would also change the gearing as the bike revs roughly 10k rpm at the topspeed I archived without fairings, wich isn't good for fuel economy nor do I think it is good for reliability to rev that high for extended periods of time.
With fairings it would probably rev all the way into the limiter rather quickly.
