Question Need some upgrade ideas.

Ok, so I decided to keep my bike, I went out and did some riding, soul searching etc and for right now, I'm likin my bike. So I need some ideas for upgrades as I'm new at finding these parts. I found two intake kits that I like:

Thunder Manufacturing Tornado Air Kit - Boulevard M50 for Suzuki Boulevard M50
Thunder Air Intake
or

Thunder Manufacturing Hypercharger Air Kit - M50 Boulevard Fi for Suzuki Boulevard M50
Thunder Hypercharger

Questions: I understand the major differences? (ie: first is a bigger hole for air, hypercharger is a bigger hole that sucks air, right?)
I've read some about fuel mapping... what does that require? I kinda wanna do the installs myself just because I'm like that and I always wanna learn... but is fuel mapping required and /or really difficult to do?

Next:

I need to get a sissy bar, anyone have any suggestions for good, inexpensive sissy bars? My GF loves to ride with me but she always feels like she's gonna fall off.

And lastly, for now atleast, I found these two cruise-control systems, anyone have any experience with these at all?
