You absolutely have to have a “NOT DOT APPROVED” sticker on both sides of the fairing if you plan on running it. That way it’s perfectly legal. The sticker’s area must be over 15in^2, the most broadly used size being 3"x5". I can make you the stickers you need for around $20. Let me know.

If it is for my bike, I think front lower or fender should be fine, if front upper make sure it has a cut out for the head light.

NON DOT APROVED is just a stamping. Any aftermarket exhaust, wheel, hub, spoke, sprocket, seat, tail light, headlight, windscreen, blinkers… are technically non dot approved… because it isnt stamped.
BUT inspectable, yes it will be fine aslong as the headlight isnt covered and it still has blinkers/reflectors. that’s all you need to worry about. Look at any chopper or custom bike. I doubt that DOT has a fleet of little inspectors to drive all over the globe “approving” bike modifications.
BTW, post up the plastics your getting btw. I am interested to see what it looks like.
ALSOBTW, you need bennys stickers or it aint shit.

What inspection?
Regular yearly inspection?
Nobody will ever look for a DOT sticker on the fairing for that.
Only time it would matter is the re-titling inspection to get off salvage title.
