What mod makes the biggest improvement to a bike.

[Crisis management]

Yeah have been meaning to do a trackday but had issues with timings. In the meantime I do my riding on the road and i have this thing about pushing my own limits without having full confidence in my equipment.

I'll happily go skydiving if I've got a reputable chute and I know who's packed it.

I can understand (maybe) your viewpoint but I believe motorcycle handling is all about the limits of traction and you have to know how to find those limits regardless of the suspension and tyres capabilities. Having a superbly handling bike will increase your confidence but doesn't increase your skill at finding it's limits.
Depends what you want out of the biking experience, I tend towards the woohooo.....crash, end of the spectrum.

Pick your poison I suppose!

My 750 isn't a top spec supersports - it's ok but I'm wanting to get more confidence out of the handling. No specific issues as such but if i had to list: Front end is a bit soft, back end is a bit unsettled on bumpy roads or pushed hard, brakes are average.

What's the lowest hanging fruit, the best bang for buck, the mucho goodo chango?

Which one first:

Front springs
Rear shock
Better brakes
Brake lines
Exhaust
Power Commander

etc etc.

I'd say you've got the list about right - If you can afford, do the springs and shock (get a rebuild/revalve if $ tight) together, so as to keep things balanced,
Braided lines, grippy pads, and fresh hitemp brake fluid should sort your brakes out.
Exhaust
Power Commander
CR Flatslides! More performance, finer throttle control.

And maybe consider trying some Pirelli Diablos for the next set of tyres...

Dude. It is clear that you have faaaaar to go. But impressed that you are taking the first steps.

Here a few things that are a must on the list:

- 22" forks
- Straight pipes
And a phucking bad attitude!

Throw a bottle of JD in the saddle bag (whta U mean U have no saddle bag??) and U are on your way.

See ya down the road!
