This subject cropped up at our regional meeting last night and I am unsure if anyone has looked into it? But I thought it was an interesting concept... so I briefly explored the viability of such an idea:
I spoke to a nice chap across The Pond who has done something very similar and has his own feed on You Tube, EZ Moto Tim Channel within which he shows you how to do it over several video installments, and a website https://ezmototim.com.
He readily provided me with a long list of only 'essential items' he needed to purchase in order to convert his 2015 Ultra Limited Low to a “Shark Nose" i.e. by re-using as many parts from the Ultra as possible. The list of over 60 individual part orders is attached and, having bought his outer and inner fairing parts unpainted, he now estimates the cost in 2018 was between US$4000 and US$5000 including paint. A broad range I realise.
He used only H-D parts (although I believe an after-market inner and outer fairing can be bought in vivid black) and some of his parts orders did contain several bits and pieces together. This was priced after negotiating a discount - which he says is now unlikely to be offered again.
It is worth noting that he is an electrical engineer by trade and rewiring/extending wiring was one of his passions.
I think that pretty much negates any sensible prospect of anyone doing it in the U.K. where prices would be much higher and a trade in would make better sense.
