If they came out with USD forks from the factory then they should be legal ::) but some may otherwise
but its a mini BIKE 8)

I love the practicality of theose 'bars. Most of us feel a little cramped on mini (pit??) bikes, the Deltek Maxi Scrambler TM (now fitted with true USD front forks) overcomes this little inconvenience by fitting ape hangers. Just like those you saw in "Easy Rider"!

Tim,what would really stand this bike out would be forward controls.
Easy rider look out!

I'm sure if you fit Deltek usd forks to one of your race bikes, you can be certain no one will protest your eligibility.  Maybe your sanity!

 :D totally agree Mike but it just shows they were around in '71 and not something exclusively for the pre'90 brigade ;)

with my flycrap weight they may well work 211! :P
but no :D I just thought it a little odd to see USD forks on anything pre'85 let alone 1971. No doubt like cantilever suspension the idea of USD forks has been around for over 50 years ;)
