What's funny is that I see so many American's calling this style "Bratstyle" and the Japanese just call it a chopper. That's all it is really...a swingarm chopper.
You sure you wanna do a Sportster tank? That's a pretty common look...

I'm thinking ill weld two tabs to the swing arm up front and bolt it there. Then use simple fender struts mounted to the rear of the fender and to the rear of the swing arm near where the axle goes through. I believe there is already a threaded hole there. My main goal with the fender is to mount it as close to the tire as possible.
How far along are you with your build? I'd like to see some some pics
I agree about the sporty tank. There's a reason its so common, it looks good. I've only seen one other xs650 in my area and it was a very nice cafe build.

Fstmstng, are you sure that you are going to run handlebars on your bike? I mean they are pretty common.
You might check bratstyle.com. It looks like one of their builds. Good luck shopping on their site. Most of it is in Japanese.
