Why not fab it all in aluminium? would look better than that hybrid IMHO.
I'm sure Holtworks could knock something up for you... if you don't mind waiting a few years...and have £5k you need to launder...

Buy one of these and make a combination.
I know it's pricey , but getting a damaged one from the states is also to much these days!

You are a handy chap ,so making a couple pieces from alloy to get the fender mounted is not difficult for you!
(It cost some time and energy ;)

Holtworks were given flyscreen,mudguard and seat fairing years ago and as a one man band he just put them to one side intending to make some. Got them back as it looked like they would never happen. He has a lot of different stuff he makes and some may be easier to make a living at than Buell

Battered around a piece of 2x2 cut to shape. the smaller bits were just a rectangular piece of metal and two strips the other side and wanged in a vice.

Flush countersunk rivits on scrap piece feels strong.
