What is the use of the bike ?
Commuting with as less fuel as possible or blasting around ?

If the first, I'd say work on aerodynamics then gear up.

If the second then performance parts to add some extra rpm on top of what's already there.
I understand those horizontal single respond well to freer flowing inlets and obviously a longer duration cam.
Or maybe extra capacity ?
Once you get those extra MPH, you might realize it is still bloody slow (not to mention the likelihood of it breaking down) compared to whatever else you might have bought with the money, say one of those late 70's 400 cc japanese bikes ...
