Congrats, dude!! Wise choice -- you will enjoy your bike.
So down to the nitty gritty -- what's your budget for mods? Not trying to be nosy but there are front flush mounts that run from $14 from LP to over $100 from Gregs. Rearsets, slip-ons, fender eliminator and a whole lot more. Seems the CBR's wallow in aftermarket heaven.

depending on how well you ride, how about modding the rider first? get familiar with the bike, then you'll know what your bike needs. come talk to me afterwards.

Hmmmm, Lightning Mods = Chip + Small Pulley = WooooooHoooooo!
L8X has a point about 'modding the rider'. I've found that most noobie squids can't resist pointing out that they can handle any bike thrown at them and since you didn't come off like that I just figured you've been around the track a couple-o-times
As far as mods go you got 'go faster' mods and 'make it purty' mods. Fasterness mods include such things as slip-on $400+, power commander $300+, K&N air filter $80+, rear sets $350+, 520 chain and sprocket conversion $250+. Beautification mods might include integrated taillight $100+, flush mount front blinks $14 - $150, HID headlights $250-$450, fender eliminator $40-$200, cool seat cover things that L8X sells $(don't know ya gotta ask him).
Of course if you search really well you can find stuff cheaper than I listed -- the ##'s I threw out are just what I've seen lately for quality stuff. If you find something significantly cheaper then there may be a reason (read: piece of $hit) so be careful. There's a few guys on here who won't steer you wrong: L8X, Limpy@Apex, and Superbike supply.
