My "New" 2000 955i

Ladies and gents!
After losing my favorite motorcycle ever a '98 T595 to a famous hurricane and a tour on the dark side (Ducati) I finally have another Triumph! The story however is that I recovered it from South Beach Miami in a high rise garage. She is silver with 5300 original miles and a clean title, BUT a low speed spill has a left mid fairing, shift lever, et al. The bike proceeded to sit in said garage for 2 1/2 years! I have put in new plugs, oil, radiator flush, fresh air filter, had the dealer check for any codes and it's good. I will be getting new tires and a new chain and fuel pump in a few days. Can anyone else think of anything else the bike will need or any dos/donts I should live by during the re-birth of the silver surfer?

Thanks a lot and I look forward to being back in the community!

Cheers and ride safe!
