Brembo seals

2 pot, 4 pot?
F08, F09, 30/34?
F08 (2 pot standard on most triples) seals are readily available from the usual suspects.
 
I had to google Cooloola Cove (from your profile) to figure out what part of the world you were in. I should have guessed somewhere in Aus. Where else would you get a name like Cooloola?

If you want quick delivery in Australia, try Gowanloch or Road and Race (both in Sydney). Eurobrit in Melbourne has Brembo parts too, but they're usually priced higher than anyone else.
If you want cheaper prices and don't need the parts tomorrow, look overseas to people like Wolfgang, Stein Dinse, or sellers on eBay.

, and if you still have the original steel caliper pistons, trash them and get a new set of coated alloy pistons.
 
Lighter, less stiction, easier to remove as they don't rust in place.
 
You can't replace pads if you have steel pistons.

The steel ones usually become all rusty and pitted on the part of the piston that protrudes outside the seal. As the pads wear down, more piston becomes exposed, and rusts. When you eventually install new pads, the thicker pads will push the pistons back into the calipers and the o-ring will be trying to seal against the rusty area of the piston - unsuccessfully.

Piston kits are not very expensive and they come with all the seals you need to re-furbish the caliper, as well as new caliper bolts. Have a look first though. If you already have the Teflon coated alloy pistons, they won't need replacing. In that case just buy the seals.
 
The coated alloy Pistons are a huge improvement over the old, in the UK I buy them from Motorworks (BMW dealer) or a Guzzi dealer, from memory they cost about ?30-?35 per caliber for pistons and seals which are sold separately. I've also been using Ferodo platinum pads for my Guzzi T3 and in 50k all weather miles I've not had a bad moment from the brakes.
