the Daytona, Speed Triple, Sprint ST and Sprint RS all run the same brake calipers, now you may have some of the earlier T3 engined bikes calipers which were fitted with either 310mm discs or 296mm discs (the T'bird sport had 310mm) and they are different, but all the T5 engined bikes calipers are interchangable.

Cheers Mark.

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.

Although he wants £200 for them!!!!

In pics I linked above they look very different between speed 4 and sprint RS

are the old r1 callipers (blue spot) not 90mm?

I remember measuring some up for SRAD years ago and they didn't fit

I reckon, they'd fit.....if same as Nissins I'm thinking about.

By the way, if you need pads for them, give us a shout(not yet, got to clear my box). I might have a set of virtually new EBC sintered.

Don't let the 'virtually' put you off...will explain that bit if and when you do indeed require some and I can locate them.

It's Just getting them to me ,as I'm after them ASAP
Weighing up whether to go for a fully refurbished set for £200 with no pads or a set off a 7k bike for £70

Is financial rape for piece mind worth it, hmmm

(I'm going to France Thursday)

[Dave20046]

90 mm centre to center , measured by them and me, can move pistons with fingers, really nice guys and haggled a bargain.also left with some parts for my golf
