Answer
Kyle, You can find a lot of good Honda parts on Ebay auctions. Most any motorcycle shop or machine shop that does work on bikes can evaluate and hone/bore the cylinders. Let them measure the pistons, evaluate the damage to the cylinder walls and then you can buy some pistons to fit that size overbore.

Get a shop manual so you know how to set things up correctly.
