New exhaust straps can be bought here along with new rivets (make sure these are actually the correct 'blind rivets' suitable for gas tight applications before you use them) to fit them with:

You will need to drill out the old rivets first of course and I used a 10mm drill bit to take the head off and then knocked them through with a punch (be careful not to go too mad with that on carbon cans though)

Then you will need a Pop Rivet gun to fit the new rivets, they are fairly cheap to buy if you haven't already got one:

As for re-packing, when I did mine I used AcoustaFil wrap rather than the 'Boa' as it is a lot easier to wrap around the inner core of the can and then slide the sleeve over- it is also supplied in the correct lengths to suit motorcycle cans.

For a bit more of a visual on what to expect and what is involved here is a link to my thread from earlier in the year- note that I had to do mine as a press-fit seam had given way on my stainless steel cans and so had to be welded but you'll get the idea I'm sure:
