To be honest I did it backwards.

First I did pipes, A/C, Tuner

Then I did Looks

Finally I did new Bars and seat. (Comfort)

Seat and Bars clearly should have been first thing I did and will be on every bike I ever own from here on.

Alika, hell I still don't know what direction to go. I think I've been through 4 sets of pipes aleady in the 2 years of having my bike. I will say this, the only mod I don't 2nd guess or ever plan to change is my Shotgun Shocks.....So I say go shocks first.

Bro if you got the $$ to do it the same time thats sweet....if you're like me and want something NOW!...LOL...do the Shotsguns first. You won't regret that purchase. Honestly they are BadAss shocks. I had mine for about 3 month now and I love them. Not to mention if you got questions, JD will be more than happy to help you out. I called him for a quick question, ended up shooting the **** for about 45mins.

I meet JD at the Laughlin River Run and saw Drew's bike as a display for the Shotgun Shocks.
JD wanted me to bring my bike over to display the system on a Rocker. I was with friends and we had a ride planned, so Drew got stuck.

Some folks can tolerate the stock seat and bars.If you can I'd say the shocks definatley first.Your azz will thank you.It's much easier to ride a bike that has the air going for it.

Well, you don't want to be uncomfortable on a good looking bike and you don't want to be comfortable on an ugly looking bike, so pick one item to start with and go back and forth between the two. It all seems to work itself out as you go along. The "look" is what we're all after in the end, though.
