You can replace both inner and outer fairings for $170.00 from Amazon. My buddy just did this.

Are you planning putting the speedo on the tank? If you do, plan ahead, and get it programmed to your mileage.

Personally I think it will be a giant mess, and harder than you think but nothing is impossible. Maybe make it like a FLHS, though I don't think those looked as good FLHR.

I suspect stuffing the wire in the nancelle could be challenging.

If this was me, I;d look at what I could sell mine for, and what I could buy one for. Then I would look at all the parts I needed, probably won't think of them all either, and evaluate price. Then myself, I'd keep riding it the way it is. But some people like projects and custom bikes.
