2019 Indian Scout Bobber Owner Review - It's Honest!

[@LawrenceWitko]

I'm looking into upgrading from my Vulcan 900 Classic LT to an Indian Classic, but going tro seriously look at the Bobber as well. Videos like yours helps in researching what I'll be test rideing and ultimately choosing to ride. I'm 74 years old and been riding for a long, long time and I loved whagtever I had in my stable, however now I'm looking for a bike that will be the one I'll keep until I decide to hang up my chaps. Your bike definitely.has the estethics and I can tell you've been smitten, just as I will soon be. Thank you for youer honest review video. Bear

[@Bobberdad]

Rest In Peace brother! Thoughts and prayers go out to the family. 😢

[@towely]

I put a set of supershox on my bobber that were for the regular scout, it raised the rear up about 3/4" which made the ride much more tolerable and made the front a bit 'lighter' to flick around. Anyone getting a bobber that isn't used to scrapping pegs... find a roundabout in a low traffic area and scrape the shit out of your pegs over and over until it doesn't freak you out, it should be a very early warning to let you know how far you are leaning, not an "oh shit I have to stand the bike up" feeling... there's plenty of lean left after the pegs touch so don't be afraid to use it if you need it.

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah..totally agree with you on the scraping bit. I've been riding for years so when folks ask me about the bobber as a first bike, I quickly give them similar advice.

[@rodriguezahr]

Thanks for the video. Can't find anything more beautiful that the Scout Line from Indian and the Bobber is on top of everything design wise.

[@dadwithabike]

I agree...the bobber is amazing and it only looks better as you mod it

Very good, very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make this for us. I'm writing up my wish list for my future scout purchase, and I had no idea the air box was a concern, so I really do appreciate it.

[@dadwithabike]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jamescook4u]

Yessir, I am currently looking up the Tier One Tuner you mentioned as well. I pulled up their page, and sure enough, there was a scout on their front page, so I knew I was at the right place. I will probably go for that as well. I gotta tell you bro, this info you put out is waay more credible than any advertiser, as you don't have an agenda, you are just giving us the truth, and it is appreciated.

[@dadwithabike]

Thanks for your review . I really like those bars . Did you have to extend the lines for that bar ?

[@dadwithabike]

No need

[@bobberdude557]

Great review! You’re spot on about the seat. Been riding the new Sixty Bobber for a little over a month now and I had to go with the Indian comfort seat and it made a world of difference. Also added the 2 into one Scout exhaust with the performance intake. Added close to 10% in HP or at least that’s what they advertise. Can definitely feel it. Question for you, how’s the view with the bar end down mirrors? Love the look with the even lower profile but I don’t want them if it hurts my view. Thanks again for the great view.

[@dadwithabike]

So, it's not awesome. I have to do some elbow-fu in order to see around me. But! I have just changed to Drag Bars from Dean Speed with ROX 2" Risers. I added some triangle bar-end mirrors that stick out directly on-level with the bars. The look is great, the comfort is fine enough for me.

[@markbright7845]

One of the first really positive reviews that I have seen of the Scout Bobber. Good news.

[@dadwithabike]

Lots of folks comment negativity on the comfort out off the gate ... but it is a bobber. You can easily address the comfort and it quickly turns into a nice and wasy ride.

[@markbright7845]

dadwithabike we have a great local dealer, and I have tried the Scout, Scout Sixty and Scout Bobber. Now they have bought out the Sixty Bobber, which means I could save a significant amount over a standard Bobber, but use some of the difference on seat, shocks and bars. Win win.

[@thedon8219]

You've made me choose an Indian scout as my next bike. Beautiful machine, with a brilliant sound. I'm not sure if the comfort issue carries over to the standard scout model but I'll keep it in mind.

[@dadwithabike]

I think you'll find the standard scout much more comfortable. Glad you liked the video!

[@colemanhigley747]

I like the performance mods you made. Did you ever get it on a dyno? If so what was your figures?

[@dadwithabike]

I did, once I added the TBR exhaust and my Pv3 tuner I took it to get dyno'd. 105 HP @ 92 lb/ft torque. I wanted to record it but cameras were not having it. I plan on going back and doing it again and record it.

@@dadwithabike care to answer some questions? I'm considering the purchase of an Indian 60. I've read many reviews (good and bad) and one of the problems people commented about was the vibration at 70+ mph. What is your assessment? Was the vibration just in the bars or the whole bike? I had a sportster and it was unpleasant. I appreciate your time.

[@dadwithabike]

@@colemanhigley747 the bobber also had that same vibration but an upgrade to the handlebars and grips solved it for me. A lot of people spread false info about the 60 series on the scouts. Yes, they are only 5 gears but the gear that is missing is actually 5th. So you can get there quick, get into 5th (which is actually my 6th) and cruise comfortably.

I am a Japanese girl living in Scotland and as a former bosozoku girl I have always ridden bobbers. I currently ride a 96ci Harley Street Bob (FXDB) with a full personal custom job. However I have become increasingly disillusioned with Harley's build quality and innovation. So once lockdown is over I am buying a Yamaha XV1900. I plan to do something along the lines of this custom job from Germany. Although I would install shoulder high Z-bars with more of a pullback as I prefer a higher bar. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ7PpJyHfrShfNE

Yup - these work with the stock cable ... no problem!

[@TJ-lk6wx]

What are your concerns about going to Indian for service? I live in Round Rock, TX where there used to be a dealer who sold new Indians, but they have since stopped selling new ones and moved to Austin. The nearest dealer having new bikes are at least 40 miles away. By contrast, one can get a Honda or HD and there’s tons of places to get service and parts.

[@dadwithabike]

I'm a little bit of a gear head so I do all of my own service (except if there are recalls) on all the bikes I have ever owned. I have found that working on the bobber is really easy. So in short, I typically do not have concerns - but if one is not mechanically inclined or just doesn't want to do the work themselves, then I would definitely go with something that has more popularity in the town you live.

[@antonmaclean8418]

You can get mid controls for this bike if you dont like the feet and leg position out in front of you

On this bike I prefer them in front. Mid-controls would camp me. I do like the look of the RSD mids though

So this is the bobber, so the headlight cowl is part of the bobber. There's a few other ideas out there on the tank badging as well - some guys use the old school "Indian" script.

Great review dude. I’m from Montreal Canada and I was about to buy a Thruxton RS (I know it’s a different style). But I am for sure switching gears to the Indian Bobber. You have mentioned that you changed the filter to gain HP. Did you buy it from the dealer because there is an option, or you bought from another maker? Thanks for the review.

I did not buy it from the dealer and instead went with a Trask Intake. I do all my own work, tuning, etc. on my bike so I'm a little picky about my mods :D

Is that a bobber twenty or did you put the headlight cowl on it? Bike looks incredible. I traded in my scout 60 for a challenger, and while I love the challenger, it big and heavy and I miss the scout for those short missions.

Either are a fine bike and if you add ABS it's evwn better. The 60 is a bit more tame and ro be honest if they had the bobber 60 when i bought mine I probably would have done the bobber 60. The low seat height will be great for new riders.

Bought it off a fellow rider from the Indian Scout Bobber facebook group

thoughts on the bobber vs the bobber twenty?

[@dadwithabike]

I actually like the Bobber Twenty better than mine....

[@robieosborne7369]

Is scraping the pegs dangerous? It sounds dangerous

[@dadwithabike]

No, it's just telling you that you have hit the bike's recommended limit - so it's fine.

[@shaw-shawee]

Yup !!! Buying one 😄😄😄

[@dadwithabike]

Awesome!

[@SleepySteve79]

Whats your length man? Looking into this bike but i'm 6,2.

[@dadwithabike]

I'm right at 5'10". There are several members on the Indian Scout Bobber forum that are 6'2"+ and they all have used the extended reach modification. But - this is still a small bike in form (crazy fast and powerful) - just small.

Do you recommend this seat over Corbin seat ? Thanks

[@MrPrimitiveThorn]

I have a Corbin and it's excellent.

[@dadwithabike]

Corbins are great. I just didn't want to spend 600 dollars. I would imagine the corbin is a bit more comfy

Bro whats your handlebar if you could share the link that would be awesome

Absolutely - 8" from Twisted Choppers - twistedchoppers.com/shop/vault-mitered-handlebars-for-indian-scout/

I absolutely do. I live in Texas and have had to use it more than once with crazy drivers.

Thanks!

[@hughmac7423]

Mono sound, like the bike, half of what it could be if it had decent suspension and mid pegs.

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah, fixed the mono sound - I think this was the first real video on my channel. I did end up doing A LOT to this bike. Seat, bars, shocks and more. I totally agree though.

[@motosportadv8177]

Yeah I love the look of the Scout bobber it looks mean , I almost bought one,I ended up getting the Scout because of that 1 in more travel in the rear😁.

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah, to make the bobber "travel worthy" you'll spend $700+ on shocks alone

[@motosportadv8177]

dadwithabike yeah I’m thinking 🤔 about upgrading my shocks as well , theses shocks are budget shocks , I’m thinking about getting Ktech lite or Ktech Bulits , did you upgrade your shocks ? If so what did you put on your Scout bobber?

[@dadwithabike]

I did upgrade and I went with the Progressive 444s. I wanted the Bullits from Ktech but no one had them. I did some research on the 444s and chose them - couldn't be happier.

[@alanbstard4]

@@dadwithabike surely they should do that as standard. Sounds like Indian going down the HD road making us buy kit that should be standard

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

is this a good first bike?

[@dadwithabike]

It can be. It's ride height is small, easy to maneuver but if this is a first bike it will get dropped. The bike is a bit costly and dropping it would make me cry. Personally, I'd buy something else - used and I didn't mind dropping until I was able to truly handle a bike.

[@orezaian]

@@dadwithabike along these lines what would you recommend as a good used starter bike? Vulcan S used and then upgrade to an Indian?

[@alanbstard4]

they need to be able to lean. I wish HD and Indian would do something about it

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah, their lean angle is meh with me coming from sport bikes; however, I've learned to actually love it. There's something awesome about hearing the sound of the peg scraping that says ... yup, I'm riding it right..
