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.

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 !
