Drain off all the pipes and the carb float chambers. The float chambers have individual drains on them - you can attach a flexible pipe to the stub. See Haynes for details. Then it may be a good idea to re-prime with petrol and drain off again to make sure all the water's out.

It shouldn't have done any damage to the engine, so long as you sort it out fairly quickly and don't leave time for anything inside to go rusty.

Likewise, front fork seals are dealt with in Haynes, or better still use Reaper's DVD (I'm pretty certain that covers it). There have also been some threads on here (look back a month or two) about making up a tool to hold the bottom damper nut.

Good luck - Bob
