https://cbrforum.com/forum/showthrea...t=88463&page=2 look for the user "jalen11598" I plan on putting the '97-'98 rear fairings on my '95.. So i'm in the same boat with ya! From all the research i've done, it's not a big task at all.. Hope this helped!

I've just completed the swap, and will post photos of the entire process ASAP.
Make sure you get all the necessary pieces and it'll go fast & easy.
Here is what you will need: (these are photos I took of the parts I purchased and used)
1.) 1997-98 rear fender (undertail)
2.) 1995-98 license plate mount/light (same part for all 1995-98 F3s so you can re-use your original one)
I didn't re-install this piece at all.
3.) 1997-98 Tail light/tail light harness/tail light bracket
4.) 1997-98 left & right rear turn signals (blinkers)
5.) 1997-98 left & right side covers (tail fairings)
If you happen to find/buy the new like I did, make sure you order a new black screw type fastener for each side (or remember to remove them from your old side covers before you sell them).
6.) 1997-98 center seat cowl (center tail fairing)
7.) 1997-98 seat

I have a 98, and if you want a clean looking tail, you can eliminate the purchase/installation of the blinkers, and intergrate the stock tail light. since there are 2 bulbs, all you need is a trailer adapter from any automotive parts store, and wire it up. I have a pair of side covers off a 95/96 that i was hoping to modify, but it just wont look right, so i will have to find a pair off a 97/98 and Ebay what i have.

go to ronayres.com... they have tailights real cheap... the clear alternatives was $49 for the f3. I also reused my undertail but eliminated the lisence plate mount light because i put my plate on a swingarm plate stand.
as for blnkers, i took those off and put flushmounts drilled to the side of the rear fairing
