    I got issues with the back brake on my 2006 Daytona/speed triple. Brake has become sticky and binding with these crap weather/road conditions. I've been recommended fitting a Sprint caliper/disc/holder. Anyone out there done this? Anyone know of a Sprint disc/caliper/caliper holder for sale?

    Almost certainly got corrosion behind the dust seals. Caliper needs a good strip. Remove the corrosion and rebuild with red rubber grease. It is a common problem.

    The rear brake on the Daytona comes in for a lot of stick. I've tried the ZXR conversions but didn't find it much different to the original when fully refurbished. Kept in good nick it suits me fine, although I don't like a fierce rear brake just as long as it will handle a steep hill start it's fine.

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Sprint rear now fitted. It's so much a better set up. It also means I have the possibility of 360 degrees adjustment in the rear wheel. I currently have the axle at the top of the hub which lowers the seat height by approx. 40mm, a much more chilled, relaxed riding position, and if I want to go sporty it's just slacken the pinch bolt and roll the hub back around, 5 minutes max.. Down points, I've had to shorten the side stand and put in a spacer for the hugger to fit.
    Thanks to Ivan, NationalTriumph for the parts,
    Andy John
