After that comes the "HD Black Hole". It's a big hole in the ground you can walk up to and throw money in with the hopes that your bike will look cooler or go faster. If the Black Hole God is pleased you'll get 10 cents worth of improvement for every dollar you spend.

Stage 1 might get you 25 cents worth back for every dollar spent...but its worth it. IMHO Stage 1 is as good as it gets moneywise...

Enjoy the bike...they're really pretty damn good right from the factory.
Black Hole thats for sure LOL I got close to 10 grand in extras in my 09

ride it and address the most pressing issues first.

if you're uncomfortable, look at seat/bars/forwards.

if you're comfortable, then change things for looks.

like most have said, freeing up the exhaust, bringing in more air, and having some sort of system to optimize your AFR is a good first step.

exhaust is by far the biggest bang for your buck mod. its a huge part of the performance of the bike and it's an even bigger part of the appearance of your bike.
