I fitted a set of Triumph 955 front brake calipers 83mm between centres, straight fit after I had removed the Triumph logo and painted them gold to match the gold Fireblade rear caliper on mine

The gold calipers off later sport bikes 600rr3/4, 929, 954 have the same mounting bolt spacing as your "batwing" calipers. These are better quality calipers with aluminium Pistons which can't rust. I have worked on and owned bikes with these and brembo four pots, the nissins are every bit as good in build quality and performance. The pistons are larger, you will need a matching larger master cylinder to compensate.
