Making stuff can cost a lot more than you think. But it depends on what..
Sometimes it's cheaper to buy what is being mass-produced in China or Eastern Europe. That will be true for the risers for certain. They're dam cheap on ebay.
Your best bet would be to just copy a design from something which is built simply already.
Making stuff from mild steel is by far the easiest and most forgiving material. Just enamel paint it.
Personally; if I didn't have the bike in front of me, I wouldn't even consider making something for it. You need to constantly test against it.
Good luck.
