Limebug Dropped Spindles

[StinkBomber]

These seem pretty reasonably priced...
Is there anyone running them who can advise?
Would be using them in conjunction with beam adjusters...

Are these made by French Slammer ? If so might be worth seeing if Graham L can do you a better deal.

I would think at that price these are the new Empi ones???

1/4 inch drop? Am I reading that correctly? If so what is the point?

 

[StinkBomber]

Believe they're 2 1/4"
The French Slammer ones are billed as 2 1/2"

In two minds whether to try and sort this on a budget or go all-out with a complete new beam set-up :?

They are '71 on mind so need later disk brake set up. Can't use with Early Bay drums

It was the comma that confused me. Yes that makes more sense.

Does anyone actually do forged drop spindles?

Cheers for pointing that out, pretty nervous about compatibility and ordering wrong bits!
I have a complete 72 (i believe...(with different mount holes)) beam fitted though so should be ok...
They do seem reasonably priced. Just wondering if there are likely to be any drawbacks
