i would suggest instead of adding a rear disk you should practice braking with the current setup itself, P180 is not an extremely powerful bike that needs rear disc for braking.
If you want to get a rear disk i think it would cost you around Rs.10000
this would include pulsar 220 swingarm disc setup and also the rear alloy wheel,u might also have to upgrade the tyre to the size that fits the 220's alloys i.e. another 2500
Abs if you are thinking of the mechanical ones then tat would be another 1500
Or if you are going for the rtr abs system or the bosch one it could be more 5000-10000(dont know about the abs system price but considering that the a180 abs costs 10000 more than normal a180 this is just an estimate)
also if you put the a180 abs system then you would also need the front and rear disc setup f the a180

all together a whole lotta money spent for nothing, You would be better of sellin the pulsar and buying a a180 instead

the rear disc setup costs around 7-9k and the bosch abs system costs around 6.5k.... but so far i haven't read any reviews about bosch abs system on indian bikes.......... since braking is involved , better not take chances

He bought the bike just one month back and i think he must have taken the decision after a lot of thinking so its not sensible to sell the bike and buy a new one

@Sandeep
Go with revvhard's advice.
If bajaj guys didnt give a rear disk/abs option because they must have tested it and concluded that a rear disk is not necessary for a 180cc bike.
Nowadays rear disk is more of a show-off for the public. It shoudn't be like that.
