    Bell Tech Spindles

    I am considering putting on a set of dropped spindles. Do you guys know of any down side of using them other than having to use an 18" wheel. Is there any alignment issues. Installation issues? I saw on NLOC something about having to do some grinding to get the calipers to fit, but they use different calipers than us don't they???

    ???? 18 inch wheel ??? why

    should work just fine with a 20 inch and no grinding required.....check with pitstain...i think he just put them on his L and it has 20 inch wheels...Harley 356 has them also...

    they reuse your stock discs and calipers...will have a caliper relocation bracket in order for your stock caliper to mount correctly...

    The slight bit of grinding I thought was for 18 inch wheels.....

    I meant that we must use a minimum of 18 inch wheel (16 inch spare won't fit).

    Not sure if it is worth $250 for an extra inch drop in the front...and then over a grand to even out the rear and keep the ride quality. If I was at stock height I would probably do it but I am already at a 1" drop now. Dammit why cant i make up my mind!!!
