The shift light is too low to be useful
the fairings are a pain in the ass to remove/reinstall
the stock seat
the fact that Ed is getting the same one.

the seat is seriously uncomfortable after 2hrs... usually I remember when I have another 7hrs to go.

can't pack SHIT.... no real way to attach bags securely to it... takes a lot of ingenuity. (cortech sport bags SUCK btw)

I can adjust where the shift light comes on on my 07 GSXr. Maybe yours is adjustable as well.

warped rotors(though this last time was my fault) but i've never had rotor probelms except on suzuki's, both GSXR 750's and this will be the third set on the 1000
