Have a set on my F2 mate - mahoosive improvement in braking, so much so that I'd advise you spend a little time getting used to them after you fit them 'cos you go from having to pull with all yer might, to being able to use one finger ;D
and they bolt straight on and match up to the disc perfectly - never looked back since fitting them

The calipers off a t595 and t509 are the same and fit if you have an 83mm bolt spacing. Or the same calipers as an f1 or f2.

No they won't fit an LC or the early YPVS, not exactly sure which model, but from F2 etc onwards

They fit the '85 F1 on.... basically anything with the later fork bottoms, ie if they say 'variable damper' these will fit.
Do make sure you buy the right ones...only certain calipers are 83mm, the rest are 90. Ive been there and bought the wrong ones. I also think rebuild kits are not cheap for them, but many are in good nick as Trumpet guys look after their bikes it seems.

Ok its taken ages but i found my photos... I was going to do this stuff on a website for my bike, but here you go guys, i dont want people to make the expensive mistakes i did  These were 90mm and didnt fit:  These were 83mm and fit...  You would be better off asking the seller to measure the calipers, but down here Triumph calipers are rare and i had to take a punt both times as the seller ignored my requests to measure the things, sigh... |

Fitted the calipers today fitted straight on just as easy as the stock ones . And they are also nice and suttle which i also quite like.

I found some Triumph TT600 calipers on fleabay and they bolted straight on to my F2 with no issue. A vast improvement in braking. I had the good fortune to own a Speed Four at the time, so I was able to remove the calipers and test fit them etc. I do think I was very lucky to get the TT600 calipers for £30 though!  |

Cool, really glad this is working out for people. I still havent fitted my set yet to a running bike for testing but have to be better than the manky set on it when i got it. I now have an RGV250 Master cylinder I may run as well if i cant be bothered to rebuild the standard setup as its pretty trashed.
So, anyone remove the Triumph logo? Im not sure if i want to or just leave it... its no worse / better than Tokico or Brembo.... hmm...

Ive left mine on for the time being but it will be coming off, Im going smooth them off so they are silver and put a yamaha gel tuning fork on each of the pots so it will match it in with tihe bike a little more. Think i will look nice.

Bought some tt600 calipers for £45. Seems to be a good cheap upgrade at the moment if you shop around on e-bay.Bob.
