[@jimglasco]

The Freedom Combat 2 into 1 sounds awesome, looks awesome....hope it's awesome..Lol

[@MS-vg3kb]

Hey the GP shorty slip on! $99-$125

[@Texas2Tires]

Congratulations on the new bike. I’m jealous as I have a sport bike and also want a cruiser for the days I want to be loud and rumble down the back roads. Enjoy!

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I bought this for my wife but I seem to ride it more. Lol

[@SonOfKimo]

Love this bike. For.sure a goal of mine to get one (dont care if new or used) by 2025

[@Bruce_zx6r]

You’ll love it when you do. I have a 2022 Ninja zx6r and ride the Indian more

[@mattu5421]

Love the bike and great video man. Did you find out who makes the bigger rear conversion?

[@mikeh4686]

Congrats on new bike. You may want to watch a few exhaust videos before you pull the trigger on a new set of pipes. Some have regretted going with aftermarket after a while. For me, I just punched out 1st baffle in each pipe. Plenty loud for me, and cheap to do. Keeps neighbors at bay also. I also put on floorboards, sissy bar, and heel & toe shifter. Small changes can make a big difference.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Can you send me some videos or pics of what you’ve done? Also. Did you do a stage 1 air intake after drilling the baffles out?

[@mikeh4686]

@@Bruce_zx6r I could as soon as I get it out of hibernation. No need to do intake, unless you really want to. Do you have a specific e-mail address for me top use?

[@Bruce_zx6r]

[@orhancebi5288]

Beautiful bike bro!

[@grimstars4326]

This is one of the best videos Ive seen so far.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Thank you

[@superfed11]

I love my Vance & Hines. I installed baffles to take away the "burpy" sound and that gave them a deeper rumble. I think it sounds great. You're in for some great times ahead Brother. Beautiful machine, ride safe.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Thank you. Yeah. Vance & Hines and the Freedom Combat are the two that I have in mind. You ride safe too brother

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

Oh good, picking my Scout Rogue up later this week (in storm blue too) and was looking at the V&H 3" twin slash slip ons. They had them on a bike there, sounded great! Now it just needs a shock upgrade to keep my back happy! ha

[@Bruce_zx6r]

@@JamieReviewsStuff you will love it. Haven’t heard what it sounds like with a good exhaust

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

@@Bruce_zx6r Loud, rumbly pipes are always my first upgrade. Keeps everybody who's staring at the phones more aware of my existence next to them. ha

[@Bruce_zx6r]

@@JamieReviewsStuff no doubt. It always helps. That’s the first thing I upgraded on my zx6r

[@jlrutube1312]

The back tire on that bike is just fine. No need to waste money on a fat tire. You get better handling and better gas milage and faster acceleration with the stock size.

[@GARamblinMan]

Beautiful little cruiser. Indian has really got the styling right on this model. Love the blue color. I know what you mean about Mississippi heat - Georgia is not much better in the summer. Great review.

[@nextupcamping]

What part of Mississippi?

[@GARamblinMan]

@@nextupcamping my relatives are in Laurel, MS.

[@nextupcamping]

@@GARamblinMan cool. We live only a half hour from Laurel

[@GARamblinMan]

@@nextupcamping I used to spend summers there with my grandparents in Laurel. They’ve since passed on, but I have uncles and cousins that still live in the area.

@@GARamblinMan it’s a nice area. Our local camping spot that we enjoy is close to Laurel

[@RickyBobber]

Congrats on the new Bike!

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Thanks man!! It’s been a new experience. I’m used to riding sports bikes

[@Bruce_zx6r]

You got some good content 👏👏

[@RickyBobber]

@Bruce_zx6r Thanks, man!🙏🏼

[@W.W.81]

In the break-in phase you should shift and change rpm as often as possible. Breaking it in with constant revs is not good for the motor. That is by the way also what the manual says.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

You’re very correct

[@eddiejanekjr6381]

Radiant Cycles GP shorties should run around $130. No labor incl.

[@raygregoryride]

Hey brother that's a nice bike congratulation I never gave mine a chance to break in wrote it like I stowed it day one ride safe now keep the rubber side down

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Thanks brother. I finally hit the break In mileage. Now I’m going to see what she can do. lol. Stay safe. Keep the shiny side up

[@billjordan3639]

You ride however you want, but not using the front brake is horrible advice.

[@SmittyAZ]

There are still 'Biker Types' that preach to young riders to NOT use the front brakes. Go find a clean empty road / parking lot, practice and see for yourself how much longer the stopping distance is, when you're afraid of the front brakes.

[@occyman]

Yep it’s disgustingly ignorant advice

[@johnhart2861]

Using the front break with rear break for emergency braking is the safest way to avoid collision with that car that didn’t see you when you are at speed and it pulls out

[@jav9888]

I hope the 2024 gets the new 4-inch touchscreen, its the only thing missing on this Beauty !!!

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Yes indeed. It needs the touchscreen and cruise control.

[@SonOfKimo]

Never heard of breaking in a bike. Thats something ill have to look into

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Yes. All new bikes have a break in period. Anywhere from 600 to 1000 mile beak in

[@NathanTallack]

Yeah, you MUST have the piggyback suspension. Totally changes the ride, and makes it fab!!!

[@Robshotipod]

Just wanted to agree , I was a little bummed on the initial drive bc of the amount of road feel that traveled right though your bottom when riding. Put the piggy back shocks on and then ride improved 5 fold.

[@paganrythyms]

How's the heat coming off the engine at a stoplight? I daily ride in Florida and was looking at this bike.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

It’s so hot!! It’s the exhaust. Not the engine

[@Texas2Tires]

Compared to your sport bike, how’s the wind with that small wind screen?

[@Bruce_zx6r]

Lol. No good. It doesn’t block any of the wind

[@rds4629]

@@Bruce_zx6r if you plan a longish ride (300 miles), does it take a bigger windshield or does it look too fugly? Trying to decide if it's worth getting over the regular scout?

[@Bruce_zx6r]

@@rds4629 if you want any wind blocked then I would definitely change the windscreen out. But it’s not that bad during warm weather. Plus I wear a full helmet. I think if you get too big of a windscreen it will take away the look of the rogue.

[@_Moto215]

I really like this bike but I'm not digging the dash. You'd think for a 23 Indian would have thrown a tft dash on it. Nothing fancy but a circular dash with a digital tach, gear indicator and speedo.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

I would love a big digital screen. With a fuel gauge. It has no fuel gauge. Only a warning light. Lol. And it needs cruise control

[@georgegould667]

Does that model have cruise control if not is it available as an option ?

[@Bruce_zx6r]

No. It doesn’t. And it’s not an option

[@georgegould667]

@@Bruce_zx6r thanks , that makes it a deal breaker

[@SavageKermie]

@@georgegould667 get the chief it has cruise control, the digital tach screen with ride command, led pathfinder light(not halogen like this one), throttle by wire, and a slightly better suspension. If you get the sport chief it has dual brembo brakes up front, detachable fairing, Fox rear piggyback shocks, and KY inverted forks.

[@CWallyMan]

@@georgegould667 they do sell aftermarket, cruise control

[@devonm301]

I ran that motherfucker hard and fast all the way up to 500 miles. Just had break in service finished up so we’ll see how it holds up.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

That’s the way I did my zx6r. But I took it easy on this one because i bought it for my wife. Lol

[@chrisdavidson740]

Take the tank and QR code stickers off before they lay down roots.

[@Bruce_zx6r]

What does that mean? Before they lay down roots?

[@SmittyAZ]

@@Bruce_zx6r Harder to remove the glue after a while.

[@eddiejanekjr6381]

The glue under the sticker will eventually (from the sun) melt into the clearcoat, and becomes extremely difficult to remove.

[@CWallyMan]

How’s the wind on your chest

[@Bruce_zx6r]

I catch all the wind. The windscreen doesn’t block any wind. But it’s not bad. Your head catches most of it.

[@georgegould667]

Do not lug the motor !

[@Nich_Pavelow]

Ummmmmm
