I'd start with seat time and basic suspension setup.

Then:

Track plastics - the cheaper the better
Suspension - correct springs
Brakes - brake lines and brake pads
Tires - I'm a huge Dunlop fan. They work great
Master cyl - huge amount of options. Don't get suckered into "if it isn't brembo it isn't shiz." Accossato is a great alternative :fact

Then after that you'll be well enough to decide on your own :yesnod

Happy hunting :thumbup

There is no right or wrong track bodywork. I bought the cheap stuff and it held up for two crashes so far, and is still ready for more. Godfather race fairings gets my vote.

As for the comment on a steering damper, I wouldn't make that a super huge priority. There's a lot of debate on them, but one thing is certain and it's that it isn't a necessity. It helps in situations where the front goes nuts, but even a damper can't no tank slappers or big wobbles. I think correct bike setup and suspension is leaps and bounds ahead of tires and damper. Next would be brakes, then tires and small stuff like dampers, quick shifters, or exhaust for that matter. A fresh set of q3's can take some serious abuse, trust me :fact
