    The older Triumph calipers are badged Nissins so should be easy to match them up.
    Interesting that Honda spares are cheaper than Triumph Though

    Duck: You might check out what Pretech has to offer for that bike. Over here in the US, everything for Triumph is pretty pricey so I don't know how the prices convert to your economy. ...J.D.

    I bought my Pretech caliper from over there (TTP) and had it shipped to the U.S. west coast and it was still cheaper than buying it here ! You guys have VAT to deal with. We only have sales tax. ...J.D.

    we have very limited dealers in southern Ireland and nothing is in stock so they order from a well known site better off just going straight to that site myself even if i did get them locally still pay the same also i found them lacking a bit when it came to advice on the way the carb to head rubbers were to be fitted had to figure it out myself

    Even though I am in California (very highly populated), I am kind off the beaten path out here. There is a Triumph dealer,.but he is an 80 mile round trip over a mountain pass. Only one aftermarket motorcycle supply in the area, and he does not have much.Triumphs are kind of a rare breed out here. Pretty much on my own. ...J.D.

    You asked me that question twice earlier and I declined to answer, now twice again. What is your problem ?
