Its just the cost, ONB costs about 800 per bulb while the Philips costs 400. Both are available in pairs so you'd have to find somebody to share the cost.
But I've heard lots of good things about the ONB if cost is not the deciding factor.

Can the Osram NIghtbreaker be used on the Unicorn? If yes, can anyone point me to where I can get it in Pune?

Heard from an avid bullet enthusiast that there is a seasoned biker-mod guy in Cochin / Kochi kerala who can do the mods. Will post the details tomorrow. I find the rear shocks are quite hard, i dont understand why Bajaj has not bothered to put gas shocks as stock ones (atleast in the new 200 avenger). I visited the pro-biking showroom at Kochi (Kaloor-Popular automobiles). The ASM told that a guy who had come for service of his 200 avenger had fixed a saddle bag on one side (purchased from Bangalore). I am waiting for hearing from him on the source of the same. Will update you guys once i hear from him.

^^ There is no nitrox in Avy coz Avy has a better suspension than the ones in Pulsar family. Its the height which kills (do some physics calc u'll know) ...
What do you want to carry on ur bike? I have an elastic net in the saree guard and things I have carried till date are-
Veggies, Camera bag with tripod, strolly(23 kgs one), soft travel bag, carpet (king size) and believe it or not I have carried CPU also , unfortunately I do not have the photo.
Find the foto of the blue elastic net-

I fitted a wind shield for my av 200. But the guys at bajaj pondi had real difficulty in fitting it.. The clamp doesnt allow space for speedo cable.. Its going awkwardly as u can see in the pic...

I am going to order an Avenger on this Saturday and was just wondering if you recommend the fitment and you have noticed any difference in performance or mileage after adding a windshield to your Bike.

Many thanks

I have discontinued searching for saddle bags. Now the quest is to get tubeless tyres and alloy wheels (without which you cannot have tubless tyres) for Avenger. Mr. Sampath Kumar from Bajaj gave a prompt reply in tubeless tyre for Avenger (but yet to get a fruitful reply). Thanks nevertheless.

Wonderful Thread!!

Here is my list of modifications done and to be done

1. Saddlebag - I own the Cramster COLT bag. It is of 35 litres and actually meant for bikes with upswept Exhaust like Karizma, Pulsar. I fitted it on my Avy and took it to the hills of Bhutan, worked great for me. Not too big, not too deep(so that it touches the silencer).I didnt face heavy downpour, but the bag didnt trouble me in drizzles, so cant comment on the waterproofing.
I never wanted to attach a permanent saddle bag and didnt find a better alternative in the temporary ranges! The best thing about this bag is its very lightweight and you have nice straps to hold it in case you want to carry it as a travel bag. Works two way actually! I used it to carry my luggage in train with utmost ease!
2. White lamp : I have heard about Osram Night Vision, Philips Diamond and Crystal Vision, yet to decide on them. Can anyone help out?
3. K&N Filters : I am game for this. The reviews have been awesome, heard about 30% increase in pick up and also better fuel efficiency.
K&N High Performance Air Filters, Oil Filters, & Cold Air Intakes
4. Rear Tyre: Wanted to go for tubeless, but dont want to compromise the spoky look. Need to consult with my mechanic if tubeless without alloys is at all possible If not then atleast a tyre change to 140/80(MRF).
5. Extra rear seat padding: Need to find a better padding so that it doesnt become a misfit..anyone suggestions?
6. Horn : Removed the original one and added the Pulsar 200 one! Pretty much better now!
7. Metallic Logo : Have seen some Kawasaki monograms available online, any idea where a metallic monogram like the pulsar 200's can be bought from?
8.Windshield : This looks supercool, but my mechanic had resisted my temptation last time by saying it gets cracked soon! But still I feel I cant resist this!

Please help me out with my queries friends...
