For me it's comfort because if I am not comfortable than I do not ride, so it would not matter if it handled better- was faster - or stopped better.
For the RT
#1 Russell day long seat. - from Russell day long
# 2 Triaxis handle bars. - from Can Am (I installed)
For the F3
#1 Russell day long seat. - from Russell day long
#2 Short reach handle bars - from Can Am (I installed)
#3 position 4 brake rod - from Can Am (I installed)

Tough one....
As I find the catagories being....safety, comfort, handling, performance it is a long list of changes and mods. Then of course there is the whole DIY and OEM as well as aftermarket. I have done many DIY and aftermarket but would say the one worth it's weight in gold would be going from a supersport wing to a 2012 RS sm5
