Looks nice. Won't your fairing cover the upper fork tubes? Not sure there's anything else you could do except make some new covers or cut out slots in your old one for the new headlight/fairing mounts. I don't mind ithem being exposed on my CL350, although the fork tubes are a bit spindly looking.

Some folks have used chrome/nickel sink drain pipes to cover the upper bare forks. https://www.grainger.com/product/1P...V5m5_AB1Z5gYKEAQYDyABEgI4VPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Fairing won't cover them up how I'd like. I think they look spindly as well.

Split personality, I fake being smart
That's because they are spindly.
You need a fork brace or they twist like pretzels.
Many people fit 35mm forks from larger Honda's as that's easiest thing to do.
USD forks from late models look way too big being 50mm+ which makes everything else look skinny plus fitting stock wheels becomes way more difficult

If you decide to go with 35mm forks you can use the trees from a 74 or later CB/CL450 or 500 Twin or from the CB500/550 four. They bolt on and the steering stops work with your frame. Same for the forks from the above bikes plus the 73-79 CB750 SOHC. There are other donors but these model Honda forks work very well on a 350/360.
