Stock Nissin callipers from an air-cooled Triumph twin.
If we are going to get into a grease discussion, please can every product mentioned be readily available from a UK internet retailer?
The outcome from the last brake pad discussion was buy a pair only available from foreign websites with a total cost inc. P&P that was on par with buying a new set of callipers. So I just bought a set of EBC for £14-20.

Mentioned the grease discussion as some say copper grease, others say red rubber grease some say silicone grease. Search on any forum and there is always a discussion.
The calliper looks the same as bindit, looking at exploded diagrams to see what the pins are.
Also I recommend OE pads. If the calliper manufacturer is Nissin OE so see if you can cross reference with Honda fitments as Honda dealers seem to get them cheap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Genuine-Triumph-Tiger-885i-Rear-Brake-Pads-T2020077/1016910644 as an example of OE being cheap. Most dealers stock ebc or carbon lorraine as the profit margin is bigger.
Edit: Looked but can't see what is there. But looking at the pins http://www.gannonoils.co.uk/images/stories/molykote-G-3407-caliper-pin-grease.pdf will be fine. Gannons is a contact for a price

Now lets have a long discussion about caliper pins and brake pads. ;)
What brake system, tokico, nissin meh. How is the pin held in place.
Having been through this shite with MK1 MR2 rear calipers and bindit front calipers. There are a few differing types.
Ceratec was made as copper grease (metal/magnetic content) can affect abs sensors. Ceratec has no metallic/magnetic content.
