I scrubbed and cleaned up the caliper parts using automatic transmission fluid. It works well to loosen up the grunge.

I bought two new sets from ebay seller Kenosha Kid in Germany. They are beautifully machined stainless steel, and at an excellent price.

I wanted to use the modern Yamaha emblems, so bought some from ebay seller storecxdotcom. These are 4.5 cm, so a perfect fit.

Indiana currently doesn't have a Moto Guzzi dealership, but it looks like Vespa Shelbyville will soon be carrying the brand. They had a V7 Racer at the show, and the fit and finish are excellent. It looks like a great bike for the $9995 price tag.
