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.
Maybe the average policeman does not count sprocket teeth very often. If one did, maybe a jury would acquit you of any wrong-doing, and improve the law in the process. In Canada, mo-peds are supposed to be speed-limited, but in practice, anything goes as long as one is pedaling visibly.
