On the advise of @FL000 , I've fabb'd up a 'Mold of the lens using paper + spray starch. Several coats of starch, heat gun to dry and finished product came out good.

The finished shell is a 99% copy of the lens and stays in shape while placing on top of the Sheridan 'bump at the top of fender.

Another view, masking tape will keep it in shape for the cutting outlines.

One last view of the polished + ported exhaust chambers, and the R-side header was fastened down today. LBP Lozano Bros. Porting in New Braunfels TX does nice work !
