Some older Yamaha's used red lenses.  I don't know any CBs that had them.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

They aren't terribly uncommon.  In my perusing of feebay for parts on my cb500 I know I've seen them more than a handful of times.  Can't see any on there right now, but I've seen them before.  Of course, I guess that doesn't help if 500 signal lenses dont it 750 signals.  :P

I know it says cb500, and for $3 it'd be worth it to find out if they fit, IMO.  If nothing else, I would think if they have these for my bike, somebody has them for yours.

As for wiring in your brake switch to your turn signals, I would think it's just a matter of simple splicing.  A wire diagram should tell you everything you need to know.

Krylon makes a transparent red spraypaint called stained glass or something.   It works really well along with a quality clear top coat.
