My stock seat sucked but I fixed that.

My pegs are a little high and make my gear bunch up behind my knees. Touratech does make adjustable pegs. I just need to fork over the money.

My bars are a little far away for me. I tried risers but they did not do the trick. I have now purchased a new fix but unfortunately it will require a longer brake line and bleeding ABS brakes.

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

TLR heat by your nuts on a hot day, i swear somedays i could cook the hair off my legs if i rode in shorts.
The zx10 tach is garbage on the first gens and the fact that it doesn't get me out of tickets just because of how cool and fast it is.

So no real complaints.

Forgot to add heat to mine. EVERYTHING gets hot. You cant keep your hand on the frame for more than a few seconds without letting off.

When I get home, I park in the garage and put a fan at the front of my bike to cool it off. My rads are on the sides and when people see them I tell them that they are my supercharger air coolers. LOL

100 mile gas range. Otherwise it's perfect. Going from the VFR to the Superhawk makes the 100 mile tank feel like 12 miles.
