Default What to do with $300?

I have about $300 to spare this month and I would like to put it into the bike. I have a completely stock 02 954 with 6500 miles. I just wanted to get some recommendations from you guys on what would be the best bang for the buck.

I have a couple of things in mind:
Option A
Double Bubble
Flame Sliders
Pazzo Levers
Maybe a Throttle Meister for the long trips to Arkansas if I can scratch together a few extra bucks

Or

Option B
Save the money and add more to it when possible until I can afford my exhaust and a power commander.

I have considered maybe buying better brake pads and some stainless brake lines. If I do this, then I would need some recommendations on what the best pads would be. There are so many options and so little money. What do you guys think would be the best mix of parts for the money that I have to spend?

Thanks in advance!

If it were me, I'd go with option B.

Or option C. Do the brake pads, and lines, whatever is left save up for option B.

As for the pads, I'm partial to EBC HH pads. But that's just my humble opinion.

954 is a no cut applications. Do what you feel is necessary. 300$ for me would probaly go towards more chrome or car stuff.

If you need the brakes, EBC sintered for the fronts. Frame sliders (protect your baby). Rear swingarm spools (again protect and useful if you get a stand). You can get a slip on pipe and you dont need a power commander. quality air filter if you dont have one is a good mod.

I would do the exact opposite. Its not like youre gonna gain 30 hp doing simple mods anyway. Might as well make it look good. One simple mod can change the entire look of your bike. Plus, its a 954. How much more power do you need right now? Just my .02.

Pay $300 on your credit card(if you have one). Nothing beats getting out of debt.
