Are there any cheaper ways to get hold of pistons and seals for the steamer calipers. I'd prefer nissin stuff, as it's supposed to be better, but £55 for a piston and seal kit from Triumph (and they're out of stock for 6 weeks) or £20 for a pack of four seals (2 inner, 2 dust) or £23 per piston sounds like a lot of money.
Thanks

Have you tried Wemoto?
Usually cheaper than oem.
I used the pattern pistons on my TBS and ended up replacing 4 out of the 6 after about 18 months as they'd pitted and siezed in the caliper.. :roll:
how bad are your pistons?
i used this lil lot for mine

fitted well n had no issuses with em. aint bled em up or tried em yet so cant tell ya how they perform but if they work as good as they went together i should be ok.
i hope :lol:
My pistons are so so...............the seal kit looks good, but how do the pattern seals function. I've been told they can stick and drag on the pistons.

i splashed out on genuine seals on the TBS as I was replacing everything else.. to be honest I didnt really notice any difference when fitting them, and at the same time I put pattern ones in the Tiger and they're fine so far, about 6000 miles on.. not sure what if anything that proves!! :lol:
