GSF fairing requires welding a tab on the steering head to accommodate the fairing stay, as well as drilling holes into your frame to mount the brackets that hold the fairing.

If you want everything to look right, then you need to change the tail plastics for an '01+ model, which also requires welding new mounting brackets onto the sub frame, as well as changing the seat and tank out as well.

Holy crap it's the Wiki!
