Change out the brake fluid? Well I'll be...Might as well do the whole kit and caboodle then. Repack the headset and change out the fork oil. Pull and clean the carbs. 1000 miles over 7 years? Sounds like a beautiful amber colored coating been going down slow. Chances are the condoms and rubbers are dry-rotted. and the float needle seats are a bit on the Andromeda strain side (the original). Bet the tires are stock (maybe the skins are new being as how the front wheel was repaired by Buchanan) and if so, even Burt Munro couldn't get enough shoe polish on em.
