As I doubt you are still on the stock metz 4, sorting the front suspension should be your first job. Especially with you being a tad larger that your average jap

Well i've just done the braided hoses but my front end is lagging behind now. I should have done that first. Live and learn.

Front end upgrade from JHS next month and my rear shock replacement should be here this week.

You will notice the most difference from new springs, or new brake set up. But I think springs are priority.

Tyres first, then springs. Or preferably both at the same time.

Or just lots of petrol to ride the old girl, and save some money for some trackdays when it stops snowing.

Mmmmmm Trackdays.........

you didn't say what boots it's wearing now, but unless they're rubbish or worn, springs and oil... By a mile.
