1980 CB650Z
Thanks Terry!
I have made a few more changes. I had a set of blinkers from a CX500 on a shelf, and I have adapted two of them and used them as rear blinkers. They are a bit larger than I would have liked them to be, but at least they are visable.
I also took off the rack for the Krauser panniers, but I have made it simple to put back in. All I need to doo is loosen three bolts on each side, and plug in the blinkers that is mounted on the racks. It's a 10 minute job.
This is how the bike looks without the panniers and the racks:

The european RC03 Z-models came with this silver comstars. Note that not only the colour but also the "spokes" profile is different. The rear wheel is 18", I once had a set but did not check out whether it would fit in a RC05. I think front tyre width is (slightly) different, so the front rim width might be too. Also front brake disks are smaller, I do not remember if mountings are identical.

Since the fairing wasn't made for this model, I had my doubts too when I started to fit it on the bike. And that's why I took the pictures from the start to be able to sit back and see how it looked and then make the adjustments.
This is how the bike looks now at a distance:
