that sounds promising, the westy screen I bought was £160 + £25 for the plywood shipping box +vat and carriage tot was £240 ish, the supports/mirrors I bought second hand, but again if looking at that style a second hand pair could provide "inspiration".
as a thought many years back we did rc model aircraft fuselages and the way we did that was to make a ply box which was returned after the customer had received their item, there was a surcharge which was refunded on receipt of the box back to us in useable condition , saved a lot on time/ expence making them and the customer ultimately didn't pay for the box (he did pay to return the box)

some options to consider re screen supports
mirror attachment points ... or not
door / wind deflector attachment points... or not
strength as there is a fair bit of force hitting the screen
body attachment etc.
Im sure you have considered these points, just stuck at home today and throwing it out to you, don't mean to offend..
Heaven knows we need people to explore , develop , supply things to benefit those of us who cant.
Keep up the good work

Bunch of girls,whats the problem with the wind in your hair and fly splats on your face

Seriously it would make it a little more pleasant to be out of the wind.

I don't mind the wind in my face, it's just I can't see over 25mph unless I wear a helmet.
I have been thinking about a screen for a while but wouldn't even know where to start looking as the Haynes seems to be a funny size.
