Let us know how you get on with Kevin's piston.
I've heard a lot about them.

While refurbing the the brake systems (and more) of other motorcycles, I made pretty good experience with car type rim-cleaner (Sonax, etc...), which removed/softened all kinds of deposits very well.
Also used it on aluminum engine/gear casings without any noticeable corrosion.
However please proceed with care, as I yet don't know personally about the effects on the materials used on those older bikes!!
Use as advised, apply, let soak for 2 minutes at max (might use nylon brushes there), rinse carefully with lots of water; repeat procedure if necessary.

I've fitted one of those phenolic pistons about 5 months ago and everything seems fine.
