You will get a lot more replies/responses if you make your title more descriptive. Many people will just gloss over such generic titles.

A Dremmel tool with a wire brush attachment does a good job cleaning the place where the seals go. Also a good soaking in CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust remover) will help, too. Just be sure to blow out all the holes immediately with air and/or brake cleaner, because the CLR will eat aluminum if allowed to sit on it.
You don't have to have Honda brake pads, other companies like EBC make quality pads for your bike.

Do a search on brake lines or stainless steel brake lines.
There has been a lot of discussion.
