Some more ideas
For much better stopping, a very easy upgrade is a swap to a EX front caliper ( and MC if you want). You can pick up both a caliper and a master cylinder for around $50. A very simple adapter is all that is required to bolt that one. The drawing for the adapter is on the resource page.
There are quite a few good people offering services on the triple website. Damon Kirkland is know as "the crank god" for rebuilding triple crankshafts.
A couple people offer cylinder boring and "Ja-Moo" makes reed kits for them.
The fine folks on the forum really don't care if he builds a "rat rod" or a concours correct restoration. They're just genuinely happy to see another triple get back on the road ( or the race track ).
The parts for sale section and the parts wanted section are a good place to get what he needs. Ebay is another spot but some sellers are better than others. He should ask if he's going that way since there are a few who are know to "misrepresent" the condition of the parts. One of the members there is Jessh1 who comes highly recommended by almost the entire forum. His ebay store is "Jessbikes". I personally deal with him and he stands behind his parts. No junk from Jess.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'm help as much as I can.
