not long after getting my 750 I did the same as you.. but i was after changing the oil a few days earlier and the oil looked like it had been changed recently so I kept it .. was gonna use it in an old lawnmower.. so I flushed mine with the old oil I had changed ..then new oil and filter for the bike.... lawnmower got fcuk all ....and their both still going 6 yrs on....lol

don't try and start it... drain and flush the engine oil.. those petcocks with the prime can be a disaster if left on... easy to forget to return it to run... your not the first and won't be the last it happens to

its a wes cooley style fairing.. got in on flea bay a couple yrs ago ..you could pick white or black.. prices vary ...i can only see the white ones on it now..and the fitting kit is another 130 or 140 pounds sterling...so i ve been planning on getting one of these bikes for a few yrs now...https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/255878843013?hash=item3b93914a85:g:3k4AAOSwb9ZjmhJw&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4CSN3WPnbFMr9CPPbrfRtTMYIE%2FEEjW12WFUL56%2FtFk1zcx6Z1N%2BrxMESV9Hujh7VbtOyHS9yHpMWTDVXSxasWzBTNX3UvWdYBqQxMRAjr0Ezx86RC4I4fCSFzYPosyD6WYOpFNDEnxDXdEB5OBJFCCXZJD5itkIeiOHgC%2BdLOVWPKvmD4FGZ%2FGKUO5dmjRtS0U7DqsnuyBQXqIVZpyUx9LhDO0zY2SOLYrZLLXgMztTTyevXVcUSilJlimAZHTIxzu11G%2Fmf3iD9OnYIwZngOFz1IqZVdfz%2BrgdoJc%2FhCSG|tkp%3ABk9SR-CDzoi1Yg

it just needs a general tidy up.. change the shocks.. id love to bring the exhaust back to black .. but what kind of high temperature paint would last on an exhaust??? .. and I was told that RG 500 mirrors fit the fairing . so I ordered a pair.. they were cheap if they work great .. if not its no big deal ..
