Default Suggestions on next mod

I previously stated that I was finished with the mods for this season. However, a lucky streak in AC last night says differently.

I would like to hear some opinions from others on here as to what the next move should be. I'm not really interested in doing anything else to the motor or trans. I'm looking for a mod that will really give my scoot a WOW factor w/o being too flashy or gawdy. I'm thinking white pipe wraps and a set of white walls. Maybe try to find a 180mm white wall for the rear.

Thoughts?

How much we talking? My wife call's me "Mr. Accessory". So I can spend it for you fast.

New LED Headlight.
New Spedo.
Flush Mount Gas Cap and Fuel Guage.
New "Gansta" Front Fender.

Got plenty more where that came from.

I won $4,500 not that I'm trying to spend all of that but...
1. LED headlight is a possibility
2. I'm not a fan of the flush mount fuel cap and gauge bc since the tank lift the fuel gauge is not at all accurate so when I change the tank ill most likely just leave them off.
3. I just removed my fender and installed a fork brace

I would invest in a quality suspension while you have the cash...not flashy and why not improve handling and ride?

I think the bikes with no front fender look cool. But water boarding sux.

New suspension is a good idea. But if your looking for bling, then here is a couple more.

Exotic skin seat.
Raked out trees.
New wheels / rotors / pulleys.
LED fork wrap turns.
Dakota Digital Speedo.

Your bike is killer as is, heres my list, lose the downtube frame sticker, try burly mx pegs, simple black mirrors like steath I's from drag specialties, solid aluminum knurled grips, stay away from led lights [bike looks timeless now dont modernize it] and if you had big wallet get big wheels and dirty white pipe wrap. I love your bike the way it is though!!!11

Thanks for the compliments.

I've been contemplating the mx foot pegs, I really dig the look. I also plan on getting a black lollipop mirror for the left side. I've never even thought about removing the factory stickers on the down tube, but I may look into that. Also I hate to ruin your "timeless" image of my bike but I have a thin led strip under the fender for brake lights. I'll try to find a pic.
