Thruster fixie, my first ground up build

So, thiscome isn't my first bike, my father had one when I was a kid, and decided to build one a couple years ago as well. The most recent one sat neglected for a year and was given to me. I got it running and took it for a ride across the city, only for the front fender to fail and throw me, claiming 3 teeth (and a relationship, whole different story). Needless to say I decided to get back on the horse with something built from the ground up.

Thruster fixie from Walmart
Engines online shop Flaming horse kit in black
JNM X-port
Jaguar CDI kit
Diamondfire e3 12.3 plug
700x40c tires
Other odds and ends.

Soon to be added to the list:
Upgrade from plastic rims to aluminum
Boost bottle
Higher performance carb
Better brake calipers (the rear brake caliper broke off before I could even run a gallon of gas through it)

This bike is FAST. Top speed as of right now is 32-35, and it climbs hills great. I weigh 250 and for anyone familiar with Birmingham southside, I can climb from 5 points south to the top of red mountain on 20th no problem, and that was before the CDI kit.

Any thoughts on improvements I could make to this bike?

Make sure you if you haven't already, check your magneto to coil clearance with that motor. I have had 2 motors in a row come from them with it hitting the coil, the 1st engine broke the crank cause of it.
