Good choice, I'd do the 520 conversion (gear and chain). Upgrade to braided steel brake lines(big difference), you get better braking with no flex. High pipe it.

Ride it before you mod it.

If I were to do anything, it would be Goodridge Brakelines. Get -2s(dash 2s), -3 will be too small for you. Also a steering damper. I like Hyperpro. Get the active one.

For the motor, leave it alone, for a while.

Nice-I just picked up a Liquid Silver 03 R6. The first thing I would do if its your first bike (which it sounds like it is) is buy some frame sliders if you do. Then do some appearance mods like an undertail and some flushmounts and a slip on muffler. Let yourself get used to the bike and then do a Scott's Steering dampener. Don't do the gear/sprocket mod until you've put a couple grand on the bike. You be surpised at how fast it is stock/with a pipe. Don't be in any hurry to pull the wheel up, either-its more fun and rewarding to drag your knees!!!!!

Actually I should have asked this first ... how long have you been riding.

Put any extra money into yourself first,

get some adequate riding gear, gloves, helemt, boots, jacket or full leathers.

put some money into a good motorcycle course.
