In the 1970, during the era's chopper craze, many manufacturers of extended front fork added the disclaimer 'for show use only'. The bike here looks like a new build (late H-D Blockhead engine), but the it could've been stuffed in an old frame.
Sweden banned long forks for a brief period, until the local builders got their act together, and provided documentation that choppers built with proper materials and correct rake and trail handled just fine.
