Close. Same company, same cc but V-Twin.
VTX 1800R with a Harley Street Glide fairing (8 speakers and amp, great stereo), 4 piece Ultimate seats and custom fenders and fibre glass bags. Over 8 feet long and yes....heavy. No reverse but plenty of forward 
Some more pics from the illustrious Mr. Hines. These are of the body in the body shop being prepped for paint.

Lane were did you land on color ? Cannot wait to see this come alive
No kidding Joe, we h0pe it is done for Carlisle. Awesome project.
Oslo Blue. My wife and I looked at a bunch of pictures and it was both of our favorite.
Bumpers or no bumpers?
Grey, beige or egg plant plum color interior? I bet a nice plum would look great with grey carpet.
It's going to look sharp, Lane! How wide a tire/rim will the back accommodate?
Oxblood leather interior, probably with oatmeal carpet. No bumpers or side deco. Raydyot aluminum racing mirrors on the fenders and (probably) leather hood straps.
I believe the largest tire that can fit in back is a 195, Al. Going for Vredestein SportTrac 5s on Stan’s recommendation. Wilwood disk brakes on all four wheels.
Still working on the wheel choice, but leaning toward color matched steelies with Beck hubcaps.
Bob has Raydyot on the doors why the fenders?

Exactamundo!
Good call, Lane.
My JPS has the mirrors out on the fenders, about 6" in front of the windshield posts. I hated them there when I got the car, but they grew on me the entire time I had the car. They were super functional out there, and looked really cool.
If I built again, I'd get them mounted in the same place.

I second Stan's recommend on those Vreds. I didn't know much about tires but I sure like mine after one year of driving on them. Congrats on your car's progress, Lane. It's going to be a winner big time. Sure must be nice to specify what you want.
Sorry I am not a fan of the fender mounted mirror.

We don't need to be. It's Lane's car.

Choice is always very personal :0)
Hey Lane,
Thanks for the update. I’m in a race with Carey and co. Who finishes first, the car or my garage? I hope I win since I currently have no room for the car!
Keep the pics coming.
@Ron Mullis I keep looking for your picts Ron? It would be nice to see your colour choices etc.
