Hey Busa, sorry to go off topic but where do you order parts for your VJ22 from? I need a rear axle, and can't find a dealer that has a microfiche for that model. Thanks, Bruce.

I was able to get a pair of 83mm TZ calipers for my TZR/SP last week.
They look very similar to the widely used 90mm calipers on many Suzuki GSXR models....but the 83mm are proverbial hens teeth.

They are the same calipers basically as the Triumphs. Nice score tho.

[busa1300]

Yes, the back sides are the same, but the front is different with the TZ having Nissin, and the ones on the Triumph having Triumph cast in.
Also the TZ calipers usually have aluminum pistons and no dust seals.

Lol, well yeah, what i meant was this is the 'base caliper' the Triumphs came from and were made by Nissin etc.

Alloy pistons is interesting, I didnt know that gem. Good info. Makes sense the racing bike wouldnt have dust seals.
