Just fitted an R&G tail tidy, I must say im pleased with the results!
What do you think i could do to improve it even more?!
P.s I don't want to stubby my can ;)
Also the rim tape looks terrible in the picture Not sure why it looks like that..

Remove the rim tape ;)
Seriously though, are you asking about improving the bike or improving the way the bike looks? Two different things..
Improving the bike - Suspension, brakes, full stainless system, pcIII and some dyno time.
Improving the looks - You've made a good start on the back end. To really clean up the lines an evotech exhaust hanger would look nice and does away with the pillion pegs. Some smaller led indys will also look a lot better than the stock lenses. After that you could consider aftermarket screen (dark or smoked), mirrors, slightly smaller number plate (for track use obviously ;)) aftermarket rear sets can look cool as well. The options are endless and of course are all down to personal taste.

And money! Biggest factor!

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's been scientifically proven to give a bike full blown aids :p

Not cool mavi... Not cool.. -.-
your pointy is looking good. Back end looks good now, although I recently put my snow plough back on, got fed up with the rear of the bike getting filthy.
Most people here modify, Im trying to put mine back to semi standard :p

You dont need a PCIII the SV CDI is programmable and can be just as good

the bit connecting the handlebars and the seat
spend your money on lots of petrol though the tank, and that will do the job nicely

Ditch the rim tape! Seriously I've only seen it good once and that was a proper paint pinstripe on a RD350LC wheel!
Fender Extender is a service item get it on, do the brakes too and get braided lines!
Improvements
Firstly the squishy bit in the middle... YOU!!!!
Go out spend lots on fuel, head north to Scotland go mad then see where you need to improve. Then get training through ROSPA or IAM that will be the biggest improvement!
Then look at the bikes bouncy bits:
Cheapest is a front end refresh with heavier K-Tech springs and a shock off another bike
Bronze as Above but with a Nitron Sport Shock
Sliver: Front end off a SS600 with a 2 Way Nitron or Maxton
Gold: Re-valved front end off a SS600 with a 3 way ohlins/ Penske/ Matxon shock
