Question about retrofitting brake calipers - SV650.org

Dave20046 · 23-04-12, 05:07 PM

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?

Tried that. Negative.

Dave20046 · 23-04-12, 05:12 PM

They deffo won't fit?

Oh deary me!

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.

Dave20046 · 23-04-12, 05:25 PM

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

Dave20046 · 23-04-12, 05:37 PM

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)
