Hey 2000,
I am a firm believer in that if you want to make it work you can. You just need the funds time and tools to accomplish it. I can never remember who but there is a fellow on here that put Daytona fairings on his sprint, which goes to show it can be done.
However, as I'm quickly learning used parts are very hard to come by cheaply. Right now I have 250 invested in both the side fairings and 1 lower fairing. In the 3 months since my wreck I have only seen 3 upper left side fairings on ebay and I check it every day. That part alone is $100 plus. Then you must account for the mounting brackets and making new holes in the frame to attach them. Headlight brackets are different, and I beleive so are the mirrors.
Can it be done? yes, is the time/money needed to accomplish this worth it? in my opinion no, but for you maybe.
My advice would be to learn to love the RS look, or convince pops to sell it and buy an ST to your liking. Better thing to do though would be for you to save about $3500-5000 and buy a nice first generation (1999-2004) ST and ride the wheels off it. (dont crash it like me, it hurts and is expensive)
Tom
