Ive no idea why Honda fitted them, you got a new one if you bought genuine Honda pads(who could afford that!) and I have run with and without with no problems.
I can see some logic in being easier to bleed if the caliper volume is bigger so air can "settle out" to the bleeder but you should then be able to re-fit the washer and have the same feel

Ride it till the camchain rattles but fix it as soon as it rattles or you can do expensive damage

Youre not going to want to hear this but the only safe way to do the job is take the engine out and split the crankcases

Never done VHT so cant answer definitively but have heard that the finish needs "Baking" to be durable
The one i did was back in 77(ish) and the block was bored to take big liners and when rebuilt leaked oil from somewhere in the fins so we pulled it, had the cylinders blasted and stove enamelled black, Powder may have worked but wasnt about then.
All it did was put a continuous hard coat of paint over the porous alloy and that was enough to keep oil in as it wasnt a pressure leak

Thought so, the 70+ require bigger sleeves with block and case boring and one i did the block went porous so we had it stove enammelled black to stop oil seepage

Are you sure its 74 not 64, as you say many people did upgrades most sought after being the Pops Yoshimura ones

Only pistons that have to be fitted one way round have any markings like you describe and if you go to our sister site, sohc4.us you will find all sorts of attempts to fit different pistons to get more cc, which is the easiest way of getting, as Tim Taylor would say, More Power!!!

ART actually made most of Hondas pistons but also at 63.5 its an overbore kit, could be cb350 pistons

That sounds like a short with the headlamp in, usually where the wire disapears up the stem and the old insulation cracks, If you dont get anywhere by end next week i will as my local dealer if i can borrow the "Blue Book" for the 175

Two end fuses are usualy spares, make sure the fuse contacts are well clean and have plenty of "spring" to grip the ends of the fuse or they will heat up and melt the plastic
