Default Next upgrade?

I have a 2014 slim, and just upgraded the exhaust (exhaust, fuelpak, air cleaner). What's typically the next upgrade?

If its performance upgrades ,its a cam, heads. If it's cosmetic/comfort then its the suspension. Use caution doing performance upgrades one at a time. By time you get to the 3rd or 4th upgrade mod, what you have already done needs to be upgraded for the new upgrade!!!

Upgrade whatever you feel needs an upgrade. Or you could just ride it!
