Popular brake mod on an early FJ1200

I just bought a basket case FJ1200 and I'm trying to ID some upgrade parts on it.

The bike has non-stock calipers and mounts, front and rear. The front calipers are two-piece, four-pot lightweight units machined from billet. The mounts are a piece of 1/4" aluminum stock and are mounted on the bike with a series of spacers. The calipers have dual inlet/outlet to work with the stock brake-dive dampers. The rear caliper is a dual-pot, two-piece design, clearly made by the same people who made the front. The mount is similarly simple and effective.

The mounts have no distinguishing designs or part numbers stamped in, but do have hand-engraved numbers on them. The calipers appear to work with the stock master cylinders, front and rear.

Here are some pics, first five of the front calipers and mounts, last of the rear caliper.
