Interesting Challenge - Help me Identify this Bike

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, I hope not my last.
I am a motorcycle admirer and freelance illustrator, and recently I have a new project that brings the two loves together.
The bike I am interested in is the one Sam Elliott rode in the 1986 film, 'Mask' There aren't many good references of this in the film
or production photography. Even if it's a custom job, perhaps someone knows where I can find an image of a bike very similar to it.
Any information is greatly appreciated - I hope the picture I have attached is of some help.

Off-hand I'd say a pan lower/shovel upper with a later model front end.

Well shoo-mama a fast response, and from the moderator as well.
I appreciate the help, especially from the poor quality photos I supplied - like I stated, there aren't a plethora of good ones out there.
If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you

You know Dr_Bar actually the Jockey Journal members have helped me immensely with this question and I knew between the two someone was bound to catch the same post.
It seems there isn't as much activity on this forum, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I did a google search looking for info and that's what came up. I thought it was a very "circular" kind of search... LOL

Good ol' feckin' Google, can't argue with those results.
I wonder if anyone else tried that search?
Thank you for making me laugh today ... circle of life sort of thing eh?

Heard the bike was for sale on a page called "Scooter Trash" on facebook. Suppose to be
the one that Eddie Paul built for the show Mask that Sam Elliott rode.
