I agree, it will save you a lot of extra work to do things in inter related groups.
That way you don't have to pull things apart you just finished putting together.

I can tell you if I had it to do over again, I'd do the Shotgun Shocks first! That is the single-most important upgrade I've done, bar none. I get more enjoyment out of them, and can adjust to the riding conditions (solo, two-up, stripped, loaded) and road conditions on the fly without hassle.

Next would probably be stage one components (exhaust, breather, tuner), bars, and then the rest. This will take care of the performance and ride, and then allow you to make the cosmetic additions as you have time, budget and inclination.

Good luck!
