What I Found Out After Buying The Indian Scout Bobber

[mikeh]

Nice video. I have a 2021 standard version. ( I came off HD's also ). Some of your comments I can agree with. I must have gotten one with a good battery. 3 years old still fires right up. Keep in mind, I ride it just about every day though. In the winter, I do not take battery out of the bike. Gets a maint. charge every 5 days, and it has held up fine. Don't be in a big hurry to swap out air cleaner. Nobody yet has documented proof of any significant HP gains, other than butt dyno. I had about 15000 mi. on my bike this spring, so thought I would take a look at air cleaner. Looked like new. Next time I go through the effort, I will put in iridium tipped plugs also. I am also not ready to put new shocks on, as I have done enough tweaking, that I can tolerate the ride for a tank of gas or so. I knew this coming into the purchase, as I do not really tour anymore. This was a very refreshing change, and a great retirement gift to myself. Enjoy your bike.

Love those Indian motorcycles!
They just keep getting better and better 👍

Ngl you’ve made me feel more comfortable with letting go of my HD Roadster to get into the LRST platform. I’ve been playing with the thought of having two different makes of bikes for different reasons. All in all HD is a better platform for relaxed touring. I love my Roadster, and I know you loved your 883 with the 1200cc upgrade, and then your 48. All in all I see why you still wanted that bigger engine and that Softail platform. I’m still searching for that final reason to let go of my Roadster entirely given Sportys will never come back.

I've been riding an 883 since I bought it brand new for 8.5k € in 2012, now it's 60.000km and I'm seriously considering the scout, Harley lost his mind with prices nowadays, at least in Europe.

My stock battery didn't last a full year. I live in Northern England so we do get kind of cold winters. I now use a battery tender but in the 8 years its had 4 new batteries, the fourth one being the one I had to put on this week. Bought a Yausa and with the battery tender on there I'm hoping I get a good run out of it.

Have a scout twenty as well, rear shocks are brutal, rpm guage sucks and seat leaves something to be desired. But the handling, styling and drivetrain more than makes up for it. added a raptor shift light instead of the 300$ indian offering, sawicki 2 to 1 exhaust and plan to swap seat eventually. If you can fix or work around the quirks it's well worth it.

2019 was them first year that the USB came stock. I paid 150 for the saddleman solo seat. your bobber is loud because of the cheap slip on, get a quality exhaust. taking the tank off isn't that hard. agreed that the battery is shit. did you adjust the rear suspension sag to 275 MM? if not you should try that before you buy a different suspension.

Glad you're enjoying the ISB 20. I love mine. The tank is 3 1/2"/13mm bolts and a quick release plug. Takes about 2 mins to remove it. The pros/cons of the airfilter location are very subjective. I dont mind it, as its out of the way and hidden better from elements and my leg/foot. Stock suspension front/back is completely crap tho. I upgraded the rear shocks first and the stock seat actually wasnt to bad. I also dont see the price difference between makes like Saddlemen seats, pegs, intakes, bars, etc are all similarly or the same price.

The stage 1 really improved performance in my eyes. I get an avg of 46-50mpg and I was shocked because I live in western PA and there are a lot of hills. I bought mine used and it has the radical radius pipes and the drone is insane. That being said tho it has been in the shape for the past two months with a 651 error code because one of the cylinders stopped firing.

Tab Exhaust (Quiet Version) is the way to go, it's the perfect rumble, loudness and quality material.

Hit 5k on my Indian Scout Sixty in less than 6 months.
Bike is so nimble and smooth..
My buddy who has a harley sat on my bike as it idled and was in shock how there was no shaking. He said his bike shakes really hard while riding and idle.
I had nvr known Indian was quality until people brought it to my attn.
The 2 delerhips are about hour plus away but bike seems fine
I only go to dealership for warranty check.
I get mixed reactions but mostly positive.

It's funny how the sky high prices for aftermarket stuff can also influence the desire to mod lol Like you say, the lack of aftermarket stuff can make the prices higher but explain honda monkey part prices then? tons of aftermarket and it's all still sky high lol That extra loudness can be attributed to that higher compression, always seems to go hand in hand. Engine design plays a big role too of course but I always noticed that things with over 10-1 compression always seem to be extra loud. Curious if you gave the new sportster a looksee before you got the Scout?

Speaking of Battery bought Mighty Max battery from amazon 45 dollars in 2019 and still going strong.Very impressed and I have bought batteries much more costly but all failed.Not getting paid by Mighty max just thought to share since video touched upon poor OEM one.

I just bought the 2024 bobber 60 and I think the bobber are popular cause they the cheapest way to get an indian. That was the case for me, but now I'm wishing got something with actual rear suspension. Roads are shit in louisiana

How is it not having a gas gauge? Do you get range anxiety
How do you know when to gas up

[kylenovak]

So I ended up buying the uh, 24 regular scout, because I wanted the bobber. It looks so awesome. I just couldn't get over how uncomfortable was, and the. Regular or the classic, as it's referred to in twenty twenty five, is more comfortable

[TechNickRides]

Glad to hear your enjoying your Bobber Twenty IBR. 🙂👍Replacing the air filter is a PITA, lol.

[ljbarrales]
