Dang, didn't know you stocked fiddy stuff, Zeus! I'll have to check that out.
With stock gearing, first is basically useless. Even at a crawl that little motor is spinning it's heart out. I was almost always doing circles in second and straight wheelies in second or mostly third. I threw on the 34 tooth from ESD ans WOW it made a huge difference! I didn't really notice much loss in torque in any gear, but first is great for circles now. More power than the old second, but it's not screaming.
The suspension kit is also amazing! It takes all of the slop of the stock suspension out, and I don't know if it's just because it's stiffer or because it's a little higher but I can now do sitdowns all day long without even trying! Pop it into second or third, get about mid RPM, a little tug and goose the throttle while sitting on the back of the seat. Comes right up, I think it may even be easier with lass teeth in the back.
I'd say at a minimum I would probably get the 88 kit, big bars, and the suspension (and street tires if you don't have them). Rear pegs and hand brake make it more fun, and the gearing makes it more ride able. If you can handle a welder, doing the undertail exhaust mod is really nice, too. Helped my circles a lot!
