I made a few changes to my 2008 AVL Bullet since I bought it months ago. I thought I'd show you a couple of photos of how it looks now. I ditched the saddlebags, bull bars and spongy dual seat and fitted a sprung saddle (needed custom brackets to get it to fit far enough back for my liking). I'm also experimenting with a wicker hamper to see if it works as a topcase. It's got a capacity of 72 litres so I can comfortably get all my riding gear and helmet in it with room to spare. It's not going to be as secure as a locking plastic case but I don't really leave the bike unattended anywhere.
One further note - some of you may recall my modification of re-routing the clutch cable over the headlight cowling and around the side of the engine to give a less twisted route for the cable. Well, it did lighten the clutch pull significantly but I discovered that it also made it impossible to find neutral from second at a standstill. It is because the outer cable has more 'freedom' - that is, it is not in contact with so many surfaces of the bike on it's way to the gearbox but the inner cable then doesn't have quite so long a pull. Thus, the clutch plates weren't fully dis-engaging. Now I've put it back through its original route, the gearbox is sweet again.
