I have done it on a 1998 model. Didn't change the alternator or regulater and had no problems, but that bike doesn't do much town work so battery always kept well charged. I don't think it will be a problem unless you regularly spend a lot of time in town traffic.
Appart from the brackets previously mentioned on here you will need to make a couple of brackets for the fairing rear side fixings. That is because the brackets on the frame are in a different position to the foxeye model. I didn't need to change any switches or existing connectors, other than the headlamp socket for the three pin bulb in place of the two pin bulb. If I remember right I connected a control wire to main beam relay from the connector under the tank that is described in the Headlight mod article on this site. The pilot light holders came with the foxeye stuff I got, so that was just a simple wiring mod to wire them in.
I have a wiring diagram I did at the time, but unfortunatly won't be able to get it and post it on here for a couple of weeks, sorry. From what I remember it was very much as Fazerider outlined. Especially running a fused live feed to the relays.
I didn't have a foxeye loom so I used a three pin socket from a car loom for the headlight bulb. I also used a couple of standard relays from Maplin which are commonly used on cars.
