I've upgraded all the sorts of things on my 96 (Progressive Shocks and front Springs, LED bulbs, center stand, seat...) In my opinion the #1 thing you should do is replace the stock seat with a Corbin. It changes the riding position and is so much better. There's one on eBay that looks really clean for $250 (that's high). I was thinking about risers before I changed the seat and didn't need to. I think they cost around $400 new, I got mine on eBay for $150.
Make sure you keep all the parts for your rack. If it's a factory hondaline rack you should be able to get $100 for it wit the bolts and spacers. You can also add the $118 after market one on eBay for $118 so you don't have to cut the rack you have.
