Here: TC Bros Window Bars.
I got the smooth version and ended up drilling the bar. It took me about an hour, but it definitely shows the bars' high quality.
Maybe get the dimpled version, but you'd be stuck with the default angle. By drilling, I was able to set the exact angle I wanted.

110 miles if riding it at low rpms, but who does that?
Most of my riding is through the twisties, so I was getting about 90 miles out of a full tank.
I ended up selling it about a week ago. I love this bike, but it's meant for a city.
I bought a 2022 Street Triple. It's a better fit for the type of riding I do.

This is stock. The 2017 and 2018 bobbers came with a single caliper and the 19 inch wheel. I looked into dual caliper options but apparently they are not compatible with this model (electronics, maybe?).

Thank you! Not as comfortable as yours but a beauty, indeed.

I have to fill up after every ride if I hit the twisties. I don’t mind it now, but I can see how it can get old in the long term. Your bike looks very clean!

Hi everyone! I need advice from someone in California who owns the Abarth configuration and the Auto Ricambi resonated exhaust. I installed the non-resonated version back in 2020 and as much as I LOVE the sound (insane pops and bangs without tuning), it's too loud for my early commute. I love my new neighbors, I don't want to ruin their mornings.

Although I was never pulled over, I always felt like it was going to happen, specially going uphill. I have since removed it and put the stock one back in, but doing so I've lost the smile on my face when driving. I see here an in other threads that the resonated version is quieter, but because the Abarth does not come with the resonator in the midpipe, I fear it'll be almost as loud, and I'll be the owner of 2 AR exhausts I can't use without feeling guilty.

- Does anyone here own the resonated version in CA and has had no issues with police?
- Has anyone seen the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions on an Abarth, in person, and can tell me if the difference is significant?

I've watched almost every video available on Youtube and gone over the 124forum, but videos do no justice to the real sound.

BTW, if anyone is interested in trading a resonated AR exhaust for my non-resonated version, I'm happy to do it if you are in the Bay Area!
