the guy was unsure which model of triumph they were for. but I was prepared to to the risk, he offered to take them back less the postage if they didn't fit.

aparently Nissin brake calipers are used on a wide range of bikes using the same pattern.

I dry fitted them first, also checked that the triumph pads fitted, also the slider part of thew caliper also fitted.

they are a perfect mechanical match for the Tiger, test rode it yestarday and all is fine. So a lucky find.

Must check the mounts to see if the 6 pot Nissins on the 'Bird would fit. They'd be an interesting mod  8)

worth a try, check if fixing points match if not try the positions of the slider pins.

Bird and Tiger are roughly the same weight, but could imagine  the different dynamics - Tiger's short and high, Bird is long and low. With the 6 pots on the Tiger (assuming they fit) the nose would go down, bottom out, stoppie then those long legs would unload catapulting the rider into orbit   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :shock:

Don`t think they`ll fit, the Nissin 6 pots are usually 90mm between  mounting holes, think your Tiger is 85mm?

They`ll fit my Steamer with the Trophy legs  :)
