Any decent pipe is going to run you 150$+. Reeds and tires can play a signifigant role in the performance of your bike, as well as jetting and other carburetor settings.

A newer filter than stock wouldn't do anything power related, but if you get one that has 2 different foams, it will keep nearly all gunk, sand, and pebbles out of your cylinder, saving you hundreds of dollars in the long run. What sprockets do you use?

I would change things in this biggest bang for the buck order order :

1. Jetting, KX 85 needle and slide, start with a 135 main (135 with V Force reeds, 132 with stock reeds)

2. Steahly flywheel weight

3. Phathead racing head using two steps up higher compression domes (will require race gas).

4. Pipe( FMF Fatty)
