 EBC has options for pad material, I like the Honda brand seal but most available are probably sourced at the same manufacturer. 4into1 has the pads and seal.

You may well find the piston pitted and useless, here in UK i can get a stainless piston and seal for approx £25 gbp, i would happily get one foryou and post onwards but would need to check exact price and postage to US

Vintagecb750.com sells everything including replacement piston. You only need the piston if yours is corroded in a location that will destroy a new seal....

Is it in working condition? Have you pulled it off the bike yet?  If no, dont disconnect the brake line, you can use hydraulics to easily pump the piston out of the caliper. Just loosen the bolts holding the caliper to the lower.

I also like EBC pads...
