Default New bike.. What mods?

So, I pick up my Rocker on friday (Cross fingers), they have already installed Siren II, V&H big Radius, and SE Stage 1 Filter. Im ordering a TTS Master Tune this week. Im short, so Iv gotta lower it in the rear and in the front by at least 1" maybe 2". So Im looking at a lowering kit for the rear, and some progressive drop-ins for the front.

What mods should be next on my list, or what should I change?

Id like some extra power, and a little more rumble. Noting mind blowing, but something to give me a little bit of an edge.

Iv been looking around, And I like the Danny Grey Seats... But they look like they might make my reach to me a little too far for me. I need something to help me reach the bars, yet let me sit flat footed.

+1 on the BCT for sound.

The install is easy but sometime removing the lower baffle on the V&H Big Radius is a major pain. I know it was on mine.
