    Are you sure they would fit the ST?  I know they used to sell the
six piston Super III brakes (made by Alcon) as a kit for other T3 bikes,
but there's nothing on the Triumph web site about accessory calipers for
the ST.

    I put about 25,000 miles on a Super III and the lever travel never
increased noticeably.  The Super III brakes have *fantastic* bite and
feel, but the ST items have more overall power.  Which may be down to
disk and pad materials.
