Can't help much with the front end, but for the rear. Look at the 75-82 CB750F. You will need the complete rear assy (swingarm, wheel, brake) for a basically bolt in rear disc with minor mods for master cylinder mounting.

75-77: spoke wheel
77-78: silver comstar (Not advised, They are very hard to find in good shape.)
79-82: black comstar
