Congrats on the new ride! I wouldn't do anything for the first year until you break everything in and see if you have problems stock. You will want a new set of bars and a seat, and that should be your first priorty, confort. Then do a stage 1 like others have stated. Just don't be one of these guys that buys the slip-ons, I think they are a waste of money and you won't get the sound your after. Best advice I got was to listen to other bikes and ask what they are running. Sure enough, one day I found my sound, and have never looked back. Now I get compliments. Ride hard and ride safe!
