to check the forks, set the bars straightish and look across the forks comparing one leg to the other. If they line up with each other they're probably ok.

If the rad leaks, it will most likely need replacing. You can get repair stuff but that won't help with the cosmetic issue.

By "fighter it" I mean turn it into a streetfighter - take the front fairing off and fit a naked style headlight unit (or any type of headlight that takes your fancy).

But obviously you need to find out why the engine doesn't start first. Does it turn over on the starter?
