The fork springs are easy to replace, here's a video I made when I replaced mine -

Just make sure to do one fork at a time!
In my opinion the only improvements you need are suspension and perhaps a good bash plate to protect the oil filter, especially if you plan on traveling along dirt/gravel roads. I did read about some electrical problems in the wet, I believe Andy who commented here had issues with the rectifier if I remember correctly? I didn't replace the rectifier but I did smother every electrical connection in electrical grease a few years ago and the bike has been ridden through some horrendous downpours in Scotland (every day for 10 days) and Switzerland and as yet no problems.
Other than that Sancap6 I reckon your Bonnie is good to go
