I dont know all the details, but Im pretty sure you have to weld some clamps and stuff to your frame, along with finding the fairing headlight bracket and headlight

Uhh, use the search. I'm pretty sure people have done it before and it didn't involve too much fabrication. I think you have to change headlight brackets and perhaps do something for the faring brackets. A search will probably tell you all you need to know. It also seems like many people go the other way, so locating a faring from someone who went F to E shouldn't be that hard...

It works better if you spell 'fairing' properly.
