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...

hi there,
go ahead and fit the wind shield.. Its there on my bike since 8 months... No such problems

Guys, I just got delivery of my Ave 220!!!! Now I am looking forward to having some good accessories like Seat Cover, Handle Cover, Bike Cover, Shoe Protector (from rain), Riding Gloves etc..(suggestions for other useful accessories are welcome). Can the forum please suggest me the options and the sources. I am in Navi Mumbai (Vashi)... Have already finalised helmet make - Studds Marshal but finding it difficult to find in Blue Colour from Navi Mumbai Studds Dealership. Look forward to useful inputs....
