Canopies come in all shapes and sizes for the KR. Be creative and you may just wind up with a very unique design. Here is a good example: http://flykr2s.com/bradankerstar.html

I tried to make a Dragonfly style canopy by drape molding and it was a total waste of time and money. The best thing that I can say about it is that I did not burn down my shop during the attempt. If I really could not find a reasonable source of a canopy, then I would consider two pieces of flat wrapped. One curved around the front and attached to a canopy bow and the second wrapped over the top. It does not look nearly as good but it is an option.
