Question about retrofitting brake calipers
 
I'm looking at fitting some triumph calipers to my SRAD 750 which I understand should fit... but the SRAD discs are 300mm and the discs the triumph takes are 320mm. Is this likely to scupper operation lastminute.com?

These were the really common triumph ones that they've fitted on all sorts. S4/daytona 600/t595/955i etc. No they didn't fit... they are same centers as sumitomos that yammie use... i ended up putting these on my XJ900!

Only thing is I think pre t595 stuff might fit... they are nissins that look same as old GSXR11/bandit 12 ones they will fit.

Then don't worry about disc... trumpet was 300 i think, your SRAD is 320... mounting holes on fork are different to accomodate this.

According to demon tweaks my srad is 300 (although I thought it was 320!) and the Triumph Sprint RS 955 1999-2005 have a 320mm disc

They're 4pot nissins, I know for a fact they have the same mounting hole spacing (90mm) as I spotted them in a shop and measured them once. I also know* they fit the zx9r and the SRAD 750 (+mk1 bandit1200) also fit the kwak zx9r...which lead me to believe they should be fine on my srad 750.

If that's not a definite I might go ahead and fetch them tomorrow just on the off chance.


*When I say know...it's according to this thread http://www.zx-9r.net/phpBB2/viewtopi...=pots+calipers

No SRAD ever had 300 disc

Dunno about sprint but given the general accuracy of demon tweaks... bullsh*t.

If they are nissin on side they'll be right. All others that are different have "triumph" cast into side AFAIK.

They have triumph on the casting :(

You know what bike they came off?

Re measure centers... mine on XJ (from tt600 or a speed 4) measure less than 90mm centers

They are from a 1999-2005 sprint 955 RS 90mm center to center (confirmation coming tomorrow, but I've measured them in a shop before for suitability before I got my tokicos [Spit] and they were 90mm)


I've read the Triple 955s are 83mm (IIRC)
