The fairings, I assume are the side covers extending from the cockpit sidewise along the fuel tank? I shortened the side covers with a saw so that I had enough space to fit a Touratech tank bag with the 2 sidebags hanging left & right from the bag.
I just fitted the HPN 43L tank on my R80GS, but did not have to remove any of the electric gadgets under the tank. Maybe mine is fitted a bit higher. The front mounts are secured as high as possible under the crossbar of the frame, the rear mount only fits in one position.
If you have one of the later models with the cockpit supported by the main tube you will also have to extend the tube somewhere near where it is fixed to the main frame just above the crash bar by approx. 7 centimeters, because the HPN tank goes further down on the sides.
I'll see that I can find a digital camera in the neighbourhood if you need any more details by photo.
Good luck!
Hans
