Extending the rockers on springer front ends will reduce the trail and make for esier steering. Depending on fender mountings it may affect fender to tire clearance.
If this method is used they must be designed so the rockers are rigid enough that flexing will not occur and cause handling problems. This has happened on some "Leading leg" applications, which is a similar fix sometimes used on telescopic front ends.
