The good thing is brushes are cheap and easily obtainable, if not OEM parts available your local automotive alternator/starter rebuilder will have a set of brushes that fit or can trim down some slightly oversize ones to fit. Bring starter with you.
Always liked the older gold wings, so bought a '77 with 43000 miles on it

it will live with some help from you.if you liked the way the other bikes you bring back from the dead .you will really like the 1000.
New starter (well cheap $70 of amazon) works a lot better, compression reads better than 150, but still turns over slowly.
I then moved jumpers from car to engine and starter directly and it was dramatically better.
It's enough for me to say it's worth a serious effort getting it running, which is the minimum I wanted to get done in the short term.
I think rebuilding the honda starter is the next step, then battery and new cables.
