Chances are you'll need pistons as well. Kawasaki own seals are mucho pennies. Try and go for aftermarket ones.

Are the seals perished or are they cut? If they are cut then Mat is probably right that the pistons will be pitted so they will need replaced as well.

Don't have time I'm afraid.
Get a manual and do it yourself. It's dead easy.
Is it the outer dust seals that are knackered or the inner piston seals? You can re-assemble and use without the outer seals if need be until you get some new ones.
The pistons themselves should just need a clean up with some emery paper.
Once you've done it once you'll know how your brakes work and it'll always be easy in future
