Other than what you mentioned, I'd give the brake system a good inspection.
Check for leaks at all four, M/C and the 3 hoses, then check the thickness
of the pads and shoes. You might check the wheel bearings too, since they
sat in water, but if they had grease, maybe not a problem.
This way, even if something quits while you're having fun, you'll be able to
stop!
