That bike was done in the early 70's and either fit in or stood out in
the crowd as a nice Chopped Sportster.  Most harleys from that era were
either stock looking or radical.
 I rode with many a bike that resemble that sport.I even rode a few of
the piss-poor handling things.I built a couple of trophy winners that
could be related.  The guys that owned them poured the same sweat and
blood into them as we do our bikes today.   I have a friend with a 47'
Knuckle that he built when he got home from the war in 69' that
resembles that"horrible abomination". He makes sure it stays looking
just like the day he finished it.(I don't know or care why).It looks
outa' date but it's his and it's spotless and it does stand out.
Nice to see a little Nostalgia once in a while. 
 Then or now,we don't all want our bikes to look alike.
   You must be a youngster or you would remember drooling over art work
like that.  You missed out on the good ol' days.  
    If I'm wrong and you ain't a youngster,then i don't know how you
missed those bikes.Don't care either....I remember.
