the fact that I cant ride my cb750 until I have a title and registration on it. other than that, nothing REALLY drives me nuts. well except for the cam tensioner being directly below the carbs on my cylinders. I'm thinking about turning the cylinders around if I can to remedy that.

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.

The rash! and the fact that I'm still at work because the insurance adjuster came this morning. Both of which will be remedied soon.

Other than that... Not much. The angle to the pegs hits me in the Achilles on a long slab ride. The fairing vibrates a bit, which is only really annoying at high idle. My bike is extraordinarily easy to do normal maintenance (until you have to do the valves).

Space. i want more space. I have a larger trunk than most bikes, but I still find myself with more stuff than will fit in the trunk. Hard Saddlebags would be awesome.
