Thanks for starting this thread..
I have been using the Avy 180 for about two months for short rides on weekends and daily commute. Here is my wishlist

1. Saddlebag - one sided Not too big
2. Better lamp. Avy is blessed with a 55W coil and the stock lamp can be easily replaced by a better one. My choice - Philips Xtreme power
3. Better rear tyre. The stock one is awful. Somebody suggested a 140/80 from MRF. Will check it out. The spoke wheels look cool...
4. Maybe a more cruiser-like handlebar, I have seen Avys fitted with TB handlebars. looks nice. One guy I talked to said that with those you cant lean and bend. But you dont do that with a bike like Avy
5. Paint job(?. I kindof like my silver Avy, but a white with orange flames will look cool...
6. Extra padding for the seat, exp the rear but shouldnt increase the height too much.
7. Enticer type footrest. A boon when cruising in a straight line. The stock footpegs give a knee ache after a while.
8. Louder horn. The stock is too feeble.

Maybe will add more once I see other sugggestions here.

Beo
