As per the "what did you do" thread I had to source a pair of replacement front calipers today, as mine have seized on the lower inner piston on both sides.
After searching the 'net, I found a couple suppliers had them in stock. First being Torquen - albeit at over £600 for a pair for either cast iron or aluminium.. Then I found some fully rebuilt aluminium ones (the correct fitting for a TT) at less than half that, which got me thinking. Cast iron vs aluminium....??
Both seem to have their merits and drawbacks - the ali ones being much lighter, so less unsprung weight - whereas the iron ones allegedly handle the heat better, reducing the chance of disc warpage. If one believes everything one reads on the interweb LOL!
Seeing as I don't track the Zed - and I am happy with the OEM set-up, when it works properly, plus I have a set of Brembo discs waiting to go on, as opposed to the Ebay ones I had previously, I thought the ali calipers would suffice.
Opinions please - good or bad😁

Students at a local school were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton.
One student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories!
His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report.
Titanic:.... cost - $29.99
Clinton :..... cost - $29.99
Titanic:..... Over 3 hours to read
Clinton :..... Over 3 hours to read
Titanic:.... . The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.
Clinton :..... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and subsequent catastrophe.
Titanic:..... Jack is a starving artist.
Clinton :..... Bill is a bullshit artist.
Titanic:.... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton :..... Ditto for Bill.
Titanic:..... During the ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.
Clinton :..... Ditto for Monica.
Titanic:..... Jack teaches Rose to spit.
Clinton :..... Let's not go there.
Titanic:...... Rose gets to keep her jewelry
Clinton :.... Monica's forced to return her gifts.
Titanic... Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton :..... Clinton doesn't remember Jack.
Titanic:...... Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton :..... Monica....ooh, let's not go there, either.
Titanic:..... Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton :..... Bill goes home to Hilary - basically the same thing.
