Budget Friendly upgrades to make it feel a little better quality.

Mirrors- budget friendly but better than factory

Shock (Since you are bigger, go with a thicker shock and 1200lb rating. 12mm spring and 10mm eyelet) Shop around. Here is one.

Front forks, you may not be happy until you swap to a honda xr250l 1995 set. Used ones can be found at low prices. Otherwise, mild improvement can be had from better oil changed out.

Do the front shocks have to be specifically from a 1995 or are there other options?

Additionally, is it the whole triple tree or is it just the tubes themselves?

I am not much of a welder, I can grind pretty well though.

I guess what I initially meant to put was the budget is pretty wide open on it. I don't need to stay under say... X dollars, but I don't want to drop as much on it in the end as I would on something like a new Yamaha.
