I don't think the bike has been modified. I have a 2009 AVL deluxe. It has the "classic" frame, AVL engine and drum brakes. Except for the extra Chrome, it looks like the photo. A side by side comparison with an Electra of the same year shoes the following differences. Drum brake in front, fat triangular shapes tool boxes on both sides, no hot dog tool box, and the rear fender hanger on the frame supports the fender form both sides instead of the top. I think the 2009 AVL classic and deluxe models were US and Europe only. To add to the confusion, there were also 2009 unit engine models as well.
