They aren't the best looking front ends in my opinion, but they are very popular in europe on hacks. And I have read that they handle much better with this style of front end. You see them on most high performance sidecar rigs.
Take a look at these at http://www.merlinsidecars.co.uk/

The folks down-under run this arrangement also. I am pretty sure I once saw something on a website based in Australia.

It's called a "leading link" Ural's w/sidecars have them. They also used to be on 60's BMW's. Makes the steering much easier with a sidecar. There used to be a place in England I believe that sold them, expensive though.
