Answer 1

just make it your self pretty simple get piece of angle iron or aluminum cut and drill and bolt .be more specific

Answer 2

THe last of these fender plates I remember seeing here in the States was on a WWI I surplus Triumph flat-head 500 Brit military bike in  an Army surplus store over 30 years ago.

Unless you can dig one up in a junkyard somewhere, I'd guess your only hope would be to fake one up from old photos.

Answer 3

I found a couple sites for you to check out.  The first documents the creation of a custom bike where the guy fabricated his own fender/license plate bracket: http://lainefamily.com/GB1200R.htm

The second is a company that sells Triumph parts, including the front fender license plate brackets:  http://www.bellacorse.com/home.htm

Answer 4

Try to find a Harley Davidson store near you.  They mite have what you're looking for if it's a Harley.
