I've seen forks like that before. A few years back Orange County Choppers used a set on one of their builds.

heavens no, the forks came with the bike. i've actually been tryin to figure out more about them myself, not sure who made them or anything so if anybody has some info they could give me that'd be great. i heard someone refer to the front end as a grasshopper once. whatever that means...

I checked out their site. The bike they used forks like yours on, was the POW-MIA bike. A very nice bike by the way.
