Question about retrofitting brake calipers

[yorkie_chris]

Just from googling sprint 955i they look exactly same as ones I have which did not fit SRAD.

I'd be surprised if triumph used 2 different but same looking calipers on different bikes in range made at same time when everything else was same. I would get tokico or nissin.

Just IMO... feel free to try.

You see that kwakka link above?

the picture in the above also looks promising.


If I can assume the mounting is fine, are there any other considerations?
i.e I don't want to have to use any spacers or shave anything off if they're to one side. I'll know the hole centers by the morning and if ok I'm going to go fetch them to have a go, worth a shot considering I want to get back on the bike ASAP.

Comparing these 2 pics

ACtually I think there is good chance these will fit.

Really hoping so, I've now got two sets lined up. One to borrow and one to buy so providing they fit I'm much much happier about my crappy self inflicted situation

Will update to help the cause when I know.

just had a measure myself having both a T5 speed triple and an S4 out front helps, hole to hole on these calipers, outside edge to outside edge is 90mm/ inside edge to inside edge is 75mm, centre to centre is 83mm, these are the common calipers on t595/955i daytona, speed triple 885/955, the speed 4/tt600 are the same measurements, all sit on 320mm discs and are driven by a 14mm master cylinder.

Cheers Mark,

Just to clarify, this is bad news yeah? I need center to center of 90mm don't I and you've measured them at 83mm?
I'll see what the seller says tomorrow when he's measured his. Really hope they're correct somehow.

[Dave20046]

Cheers for measuring btw Mark

Mark is correct ... for his bike(s).

Pic above and other info suggests sprint did actually have different calipers to rest of triumphs at time.

[rictus01]

as it's a couple of holes he's measuring between, the outside edge to the other hole outside edge and the inside edge to the other inside edge are more accurate, or get him to put a couple of correct bolts threw and do center to center, just make sure you compare like for like with you forks mountings.

Cheers Mark.

[Dave20046]

Will do cheers guys.

Edit - looking a bit more promising, emailed a guy about some triumph calipers this morning on ebay and he's just emailed back saying they've gone but he has some mk1 bandit calipers which are identical.
