Im not sure if the SV fairing will work or not but Bob B. has a cool looking fairing on his bike.  Looks like some type of a Yamaha.

SVS fairings should fit with minor modifications to the fairings. In these pics, I just set the front fairings on my bike. I have not done anymore with this than doing this mock up.

But with any fairing...custom brackets, fairing stay and headlight mounts will need to be fabricated.

There is a Gs locally that races at PIR with modified R6 farings.

You can fit almost any fairing on the GS.  You will need to make the brackets yourself.  The fairing stay (in front) will be the most difficult.  The others will just be small pieces of aluminum cut and bent to shape.  The fairing stay can be made from aluminum stock you get at home depot.  The parts can be soldered together using a small torch and solder you will get from a welding supply store.
