springs, valves, and oil... front and rear... is usually a cheap mod, especially if your stock suspension is adjustable. next on the list would be aftermarket adjustable suspension. makes a big difference ride quality... especially when stock components are not.
then wheels if you're looking for some all around extra...
you can probably dial in the compression and rebound later to make up for the lighter wheels... but springs establish the ride for your weight especially if you're a meat head like me.

Good advice. I would add, start with the simple stuff first. Be sure sag is set properly. Next, front end height (fork relation to triple clamps) makes a huge difference in handling. The higher the front end, more stable straight line handling but harder to turn, lower front end, quicker steering but if you go too low, starts to become unstable in a straight line at high speed.
