Brake Calipers for a Girly

I need a replacement front left caliper for my Girly. Has anyone got any ideas about what else may use the same caliper? I've come across a rear caliper for an Adventurer on flea-bay that looks remarkably similar in its configuration.

TIA
Charles

I'm pretty sure the calipers on my old 900 Trident were the same ones.  Try googling part numbers, you might get lucky....

Early or late Chaz? 885i is the same caliper as the Honda VN750 shadow. 955 changed to something else.
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

I've bought a set of gen-u-wine Nissin seals and installed them - problem solved! The lesson I have learned from all this is: if your caliper leaks, it's 100-1 going to be a seal problem, even if they look fine.

I think I have found another caliper anyway; mine still has the chip missing from the dust seal outer rim. I'll know for sure later on today.
