TR500 replica - is this a board members bike?

Saw this posted on the USRCA email and thought I would cross post it here.

Bit of a sheep in wolf's clothing as it's a fresh stock T500 motor. Looks like they kept the 19" front and the stock shocks as well

I live in Cary, NC and I think I know who built this. Forum Member Rassie (Neuvo Retro Cafe Racer builder, and a friend and neighbor of mine) can confirm for sure.
