Only problem you might have is the headlight brackets. Might need to move them down and get rid of bottom headlight mounting to make room for clipons at top.
I tried this on my race bike YC and I ran into all sorts of niggly problems. The clip ons didnt go with the naked yokes as the yolk stanchion bolts fouled.

I ended up changing the top and bottom yoke (top yoke alone wasnt enough as the stanchion holes were out by about 2mm.)

Mine is a race bike so didnt need to worry about clocks mounting in the same way but I did find that the throttle was never as smooth due to the throttle cable length being different.

Mine`s based on hours upon hours upon hours of trying to see if I could do away with clip-ons and all the faffery involved , ended up with the ABM comfort kit , and now we have somebody trying to do it in reverse LOL

I've had a look at all the cables etc etc - I think what would be easier would be to swap it for a faired one and then street fighter it using OEM suzuki bits so it didn't look like a bodge job,

cheers for the comments but I think the reality is to much hassle for not enough gain!!

Its do-able though as Bigape has done it to his bike, maybe drop him a PM and ask for help ?
