Does anyone know if 955i Sprint callipers will fit my Steamer? I hate those 2 pot ones that move across. They are like my Goldwing ones. :icon_study:
Hello Hagafan,
I did some looking on the internet. The front suspension brake attachment points are very different. Take a look at the pics below.
Top picture is a 955i Tiger.
Bottom picture is a 955i Sprint.
I am not saying it is impossible. You might have to make an adapter plate or trade front forks (i.e. triple trees).
<UPDATE:> I miss read the original post. I thought you trying to place 955i Sprint to 955i Tiger... Answer is the same being that 855i forks have similar brake attachments.
It is possible to fit Girly calipers on the Steamer forks (Jaydub had them) but you will need adapter plates. It might also be possible to fit something like Pretec 6 pot calipers as they make those for the Bonnies etc. I did think about that route in an idle few hours but didn't follow through with the research.
What is it you don't like about them? A properly fettled set up will preform at least as well as most bikes this size and better than a few I could name :augie or is it just the appearance that offends thine eye :^_^

Actually.... I think the callipers are steamer ones, its the discs which were Girly, and the wheel too, the adapter plates were needed as the discs are bigger. I just reverted to steamer discs, binned the adapters and bolted the callipers to the original lugs. - at least thats how I remember it :icon_scratch:
:icon_redface: arse about face again.
