As for the question at hand:

I hate the heat and insanely stiff clutch pull.

I highly doubt it is worse than the chop was.

The heat off our bikes is because they have them so lean for EPA restrictions. Best thing is to tune them and get more fuel into the mix.

I honestly have nothing to complaign about. I have debated on powdering most of my chrome gloss black. Perhaps more power would be good but I dont want to sacrifice any realiability or longevitity of the motor.

Suspension in the tight stuff

I can sell ya a full Yoshimura exhaust to fix that.... came off my ZX1000 but should bolt right up to your 11.

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.

You can see for yourself here soon. And I'll put this clutch pull up against any.

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.

By too low, I mean it is out of the line of sight. It is at the bottom left on the busa gauges, below the fuel gauge.
