To modify or keep pure

Basically perfect condition ‘97 stump M2 Pro. Made a post a few days ago in here when I bought it. I have the urge to replace the handlebars, fork, pedals, and saddle, but I feel kinda bad stripping away components from this totally stock bike.

Any thoughts on this conundrum? I want to turn this into a fun ride, but on the other hand I admire it’s untainted beauty!
