Is this the bike Charlie built for his wife many years ago? minus the pink paint?

I'm wondering if it might be one he was building for his youngest son. It looked very much like what you see here, just don't know what the final paint job was, looking at the taillight, the handlebar clamp, shape of the rear fender, Cobra fender rails. Only thing that doesn't look right is it's not an OEM windshield. But the seat and exhaust look right also.

If I remember correctly, his wife's bike had Corbin beetle bags. I have a pic of it some where.

I thought the bike he was building for his son had an I/S fairing on it.
Could be wrong, it's been a few years.

I think her bike had pink flames.  I bought the OEM handlebars off her bike from Charlie.  Rode down one day and picked them up.  I had emailed in response to an ad he posted I think on the classifieds of the main board.  When I got to Hernando that day he had not put my handle together with my name and didn't recognize me until I got there.  We had met the year before at Panama City and discussed the bikes etc.  At that time T didn't have a Valkyrie and when she saw Iris riding hers she was convinced that she could do it.
I put the bars on the Rocket III where they still reside.

Here's some pics of Charlie's I/S & Tee's custom Valk at a Coney Island lunch back in happier times.
