    From this link :

    - Calipers:
    I know alot of people have been looking for replacement Z calipers, They are now being listed on ebay for alot of money and also there have been alot of wanted adverts for them.

    I have done some checking and the Z pads also fit a few other bikes. These are the:

    XT350
    XT225
    TT225
    DT125
    Warrior
    XT600

    Out of these I have compared the calipers (from pictures and P/n's)Im 100% sure the XT350 and DT125R (88 onwards) are the same and I am 99% sure that the XT225 and TT225 are a direct bolt up. . I do not have a warrior rear or XT600 to compare so I cannot say if they will work
    This should solve the caliper shortage that has been going on and possibly offer some aftermarket ones????

    RIP Slothminx.

    Will was really nifty with tracking down goods for the Z.

    After investigating on ebay a little bit, it does appear the XT350 and XT225 have the same calipers as the 85-86 tri-z's

    Not sure. Front and rear for the tri-z were the same. Not sure about the bikes.

    The Warrior caliper will not fit directly. MAYBE with a lot of fabricating, cutting, & grinding it might fit. I found a calper off of the front of a mid-eightes dirtbike that was identical to the Tri-Z's caliper. It was a small 4 stroke dirtbike, not sure what it was, but maybe a TTR or DT 125?? Brought it home and it was a direct replacement. Most dirtbikes from that era had rear drum brakes, so most calipers would have to come off the front.
