    But as per the pictures the raised up split handle bars doesn't look good to me. And i personally believe a naked street fighter must not have clip-ons. Rather straight tube fits well.
    When I get the bike, will see the possibility if swapping the handle-bars with that of Fazer or Duke's can be done. Alredy have a Xbhpian who is ready to swap his Fazer's bars with NS.

    SVC guys wud never do those mods buddy.. Anything that is not recomended in the manual - be it handle bars or tyres will not be done by them.(Atleast not OFFICIALLY)
    bro what do u mean by swapping????man am not giving my Fazer's handle bars.rather can help you find a new one
    Nyway if not satisfied then get the things modded if possible else keep the stock...

      Buddy, when I can have your WHOLE bike anytime I want, then why would I want to swap Just the Handle Bars???
      bar swapping Idea was given to me by another xbhpian @SpeedyKol..

      Anyways the Modd seems to be a Distant dream. Let the bike come first..

          Well...from the reviews I've gone through so far..they said that K&n improves fuel efficiency , performance engine life...though one of my friend who owns a 220 with k&n filter says that the mileage has dropped by around 5-6 kmpl...I doubt about any place here @ ahmedabad who can provide a properly tune free flow exhaust or stiffer clutch springs...because here @ ahmedabad performance mod is not that popular , only fabrications are...
          no bro just being frank... K&n will reduce mileage, hard the engine badly while letting in lot of dirt and performance gain wil not be justified... There is no need for k&n if the engine is kept stock even if you go for free flow and other stuffs... K&n is only needed if you increase your engine displacement by using bigbore blocks...so that you can pump in more air and then upjet the carb... A rule of thumb is mileage drop of more or less 5 kmpl with k&n... Well you can always opt for joel's free flow exhausts...they are one helluva product... I myself will opt for a free flow after i get my bike and joel makes an exhaust...
          Btw mee too looking for handle mods...frankly speaking its one of the major thing which makes me think wheather to opt for this bike or not... I will plan a handle mod first and then buy... And as far as warranty is concerned my nearby svc is quite frank with this...they dont mind mods. And handlebar is a minor mod... well i can suggest you a small mod which even i will perform...and it could be free of cost if you could find a bakra... Try fooling a 220 dts-i owner and exchange your front disc hose pipe with him... its a steel braided line on the 220 will improve solid braking and feedback btw i have already found a guy with a 220 who agreed to exchange his hose pipe and alloys with ns also change brake oil to dot 5... Do small but effective mods... I have other mods in mind too...all exchange stuffs but thats secret for now... Wana make my bike look and feel the way i want it to be

            Any such mod will make ur Warranty go void.. So decide If u wanna take the risk.
            Stock Horns are really poor, and many have already added an xrtra horn.
            I too like the MEtallic levers of RTR. In fact I painted my P150's levers into that kind of Metallic colour.

              the rtr levers dont fit on pulsars well alloy levers for pulsars are available at wellington... Two of my friends have it.. costs 250

                you painted you levers to silver? and i used a sand paper and rubbed it so hard on the levers that the paint chipped off and lever turned silver... Wana change horn? I will change.. I have a set of scary bmw type horn with me scares the hell out of everyone... Next will be a 55w hid

                  If u wanna Change it to Dot 5, then u have to do a Complete flush of the existing oil., as Dot 5 is not compaltible with Dot 4(which I guess is provided as Stock)

                      Levers might not be, But Horns -Yes.. Coz u will be changing the electrical configuration of the stock bike.


                      @Rahulbarik - Yesterday I was chatting with @rahuldevnath for the 55w HID mod. But I guesswill do those only if the stock seems to be insufficient. NS comes with 55w bulbs..

                        yes i have to flush it out... One of my bro uses dot 5 on his pulsar 180 and its awesum...the bite and feedback is very good... He also have a rear disc on this pulsar 180 which is too good... I'll let you ride his bike once... You can see the difference

                            rahuldevnath has good experience of electrical modding. Me too will seek his help when i go for hid... But i will go for hid...not sure about 35w or 55w...
                            I will also try to change to change the orange light of the speedo to blue...and rahuldevnath will be the best to help out since he did it on his 220

                                k&n will reduce performance and mileage at the same time .. its just the sound that will give you a feeling that it is going fast , but actually the performance would have dropped..i have seen an avenger220's engine getting seized just four days after getting k&n on it..
                                i only consider weight loss as the best performance mod ..
