There are a lot of variations in the models over the years. I had the fairing in a box for 5 years having tried unsuccessfully to get it fitting properly first time round.

The flatracer kit seems to have everything you need :-

Otherwise Motorworks and Motobins are go to for parts.
I can probably point you in the right direction if it turns up with problems, I've been spannering mine for nearly 20 years now.
Snowbum who owns the website I linked at the top is mental as a resource though, I always read his articles before I attempt a repair. He makes such a meal of things but it helps to pay attention to things like pre-loading front wheel bearings.
