  Visually?
  
  How about these for most bolt on ?

  Now you can still use your oem indicators too.
  
  The real issue now…
  GTR harness for “headlight” potion will need rewiring
  
  It is advised to buy another “Headlight Harness” for GTR that is damaged , as a way to custom fit “GTR Main Loom” to GTR headlight (retrofitting) to GT headlight
  OR Universal for that matter.
  
  Universal = Generally i avoid them , but just be sure whatever seller says should have 45-60mm brackets to hold it to the forks, but you can always measure fork legs. The fork legs have dips that can drop or rise its thickness.
  
  What about your dashboard ? use this mount below

  Did this help ?
  
  Before i can advise about bars , switches , next , unless you know what you are doing 🙂

  Yeh just visually. Fairing are buying repair so cheaper to convert than find some decent fairings. I have an old GTR loom as the original was butchered. Pretty sure the forks have the holes for the upper headlight bracken you linked me to. So it’s just a case of the headlight bracket, dash holder, front lamp and a custom make a headlamp loom from the old loom i have? If so I might make a few purchases from you 👍
  
  Just be going cosmetics for now and see how the bars etc feel. Had the thing 12 month (bought as a none running project) and not got it back on the road yet! Decent weather has given me a kick up the arse to getting it sorted and an MOT 😁

  Hmmm, the headlight bracket would suit the face fairing the blue ones you see on ebay and they also expect you to bolt in a 7.6inch headlight , which we have a few (both the glass) and the (housing back) of it too, then you should be OK.
  
  The dash is mounted separate with its own GT bracket that was linked to you which also joins the lower headlight bracket for stability. Waterproof the harness very well if going naked!
