Default Squid question about 06 CBR 600rr fairings

Hey guys, I just got my license recently and a friend of mine is giving me a good deal on a 2006 CBR600rr. I was just wondering if you can swap the 1000rr fairings on to the 600rr? Because the 1000rr front definitely looks better, and I am not trying to pretend I have a 1000rr. Thanks in advanced..sorry if this is a noob question, I have no experience with CBRs. For reference:

probably not as it looks like they have completely different mounting points.

It can be done, but it's not going to look great. It will look like a 600 with 1000 fairings. You'll need to buy a 1000 headlight and fairing stay, have to fabricate brackets to hold the fairings on, trim the fairings, cut big pieces out, drill holes, and use about 15 zip ties.

keep the fairings off, less weight and looks better.

Replicate the paint scheme from the 1000 to the 600 and call it good.
