The main things are if you like it, and later if a buyer will like it. Things to add a lot more power that likely lower the reliability like nitrous or a turbo will probably lower the resale value later, but minor improvements will hopefully increase the value without limiting the number of buyers interested, if the changes are not too unusual.
I think you made good choices for upgrading the looks, without spending a huge pile of money. You will get buyers that just focus on the book value and try to cheat you out of the cost of upgrades- sometimes people will take off extras and sell them separately, when they decide to sell their bike.
