I couldn't find it, can you post a link? This is the Brembo mototcycle brake site: http://www.brembo.com/ENG/Motorcycle-Brakes/. Nothing specific for Honda let alone a Valkyrie.

Absolutely has to be a case of simply adding the Brembo name to a casting. It's sourced from Thailand, the land of bad copies and fakes. It would be flattery to even call it a knock-off. I'm sure that Brembo never made a caliper with just a single piston on a side. But, if you like the Brembo name on a caliper for show then the price isn't bad at all - if it works!

Well, I'm going to correct myself. I checked out the Brembo site and the do say: "Floating calipers are available in versions with one and two pistons in diameters from 26 to 34 for single pistons and from 28/28 to 30/32 for two pistons. The applications are possible for disks with a diameter of 155mm to 330mm and with thicknesses from 3.5 to 8mm." So they do make single and double piston calipers for road bikes.

This is a link to a very similar one that is OEM for Ducati. https://www.harris-performance.com/website/acatalog/Original_Equipment_Calipers.html
The UK price is around $120, but it's not a knock off. I'd be very leery with products out of Thailand as I've seen our companies name cast right into parts that we never made or sold.
