On my MV F4 its the useless mirrors and the fact that you crush your thumbs between the bar and the tank when you are on full lock
Those aren't aesthetic issues. If I was to list the practical issues like you have I'd be here all night.
I endure these things because although not practical, aesthetically I look cool as f
k. 
On my 14B R1, I think the MASSIVE exhausts are pretty ugly. However, since I commute on it at early doors on it every morning (when it's not freezing outside), I can't justify a fancier and inevitably louder exhaust to my missus or indeed, my neighbours too.

I used exactly the same rational behind not upgrading the under seat exhausts on my 2012 STR.The answer was to upgrade the bike to a Ducati fitted with termis. I thought about putting the standard cans back on, but decided that was sacrilege and s0d the neighbours
Street Triple R - a steering angle of about 15 degrees. Not a problem when I'm riding it, but an absolute bd when I need to manoeuvre it round the family wagon which her indoors has naturally parked 2 feet away from the garage door. That coupled with mirrors that always get in the way of my forearm during said manoeuvre.

Swapped my mirrors for bar end jobbies for that very reason!d when I need to manoeuvre it round the family wagon which her indoors has naturally parked 2 feet away from the garage door.

For me its the number plate bracket. Sticks out miles. Keep looking at tail tidies, but just not found one I like yet that doesn't involve drilling the fairings. Don't want permanent holes in case I shift the bike on.

Evotech. First thing I bought for mine and bolts into the existing mounts. Looks pretty good fitted as well. Only thing is the factory indicators don't fit if you have the high Arrow cans. Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
