Default Winter Upgrades - Need Input

I came very close of trading in my 2009 Iron for a 2009 Fat Bob but I just couldn't do it. I just think the Iron fits me better and is more my style.

With that said I am going to do some upgrades which include the following:

1250 Upgrade NHRS
New Rear Shocks
New Handle Bars
Maybe a new seat

So I am not looking for any crazy speed with my 1250 upgrade but do want it faster. What are the basics I need for this upgrade?

What are some suggestions for Rear Shocks? Just want a smoother ride.

Thanks in advance.

Those are some nice looking shocks Dr. V. I saw the $250 deposit and thought thats how much they were and started digging for my wallet. Then I read a little closer and saw they were $629.99. Gonna have to wait and think about them.
