Indian Scout Bobber Fender Delete How To

Using Tank Machine subframe block off and new Combustion Industries 1920 brackets/Micron lights, I finally dig into the fender delete mod and show you how to do it. The whole process was easier and more enjoyable than I expected.

I’m new to your channel and I stopped to watch it because I love your bike I love what you’re doing to it and I really wanna India now I’m fed up with Harley Davison‘s high prices i’m truly sorry about your father my father died a few years ago he was 90 and it’s a hard thing to go through. I think when I get my bike the first thing I wanna do is change exhaust and I’d really like to do something with the back tire like put a 200 or 240 on it. Great video.

[@Jimbobbington]

Thanks man, a lot of people do a 240 rear and it looks pretty fantastic!

[@shark2075]

I've been waiting for this video from you for a long time, thank you for this. Hoping to see maybe a little bit wider tire on the back ? 180 maybe. These 240 are a little bit too much for me. Also TankMachine also makes a very thin fender that licks the tire and mounts on to the swing arm. Would look sick too. Also I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences. It is the natural order of things I guess. I'll raise a glass to that tonight. Cheers and thanks for the video.

@@Jimbobbington apparently I can’t post links in comments, but TM has a close off plate and that $140. Do you know if it’s any different than the one from Indian? Also, the stock bracket you bolted to the TM block off plate, is that something ghat would be on my bobber? I don’t have a 1920 seat or conversion. I’ll have to buy that from Indian yet to get the floating seat mount. Kinda sucks because ghat has a close off with it but looks like that won’t fit flush with that kit, correct?

[@Jimbobbington]

@@jasonm9264 I'm not sure about the extra close off from TM. The bracket you mention comes with the extra close off you have to buy from Indian.

The battery cover used for this is the one for the regular scout with the 1920. It should be the one you already have installed.

[@Jimbobbington]

Other than the seat itself, the tail lights, block off, and license plate relocation links are all in the description of this video.

[@jugomister1]

@@Jimbobbington I'm a bit confused to the required parts. So just to confirm when you buy the 1920 solo seat, it come with a close off cover, Which is the cover plate needed if you are doing a fender delete. And the other close off cover which is sold separately is required if the fender remains on the bike? So would that mean that i only need to buy the 1920 solo seat ( which comes with a cover for fender delete) and the tank frame cover?

[@Jimbobbington]

@@jugomister1 correct! But by removing the fender, you need to figure out how you want to run brake lights and mount license plate also

Hey Jim! Huge fan of the channel and of the bike. How long did the plate take to arrive? And was this the only solution you found? Kind of nervous spending over 400 on an overseas company in France

[@Jimbobbington]

Tank machine is a very reputable company with very high quality products. Don't be afraid to order from them. It took about 9 days to receive. There are other options, for instance Mother Road makes a plate for about $100 but it's just a flat piece of metal. NLC make a good looking one for a little over $300 which I ordered, but it ended up being fiberglass and I wasn't comfortable with that. Tank Machine is the only OEM looking option that fits perfectly and is built literally like a tank.

@@Jimbobbington Noice, always a plus

[@jlrutube1312]

The fender is a safety device. Once, as a kid, I had a friend riding two up with me and I goosed the throttle and he slipped off of the seat onto the fender. Just think what would have happened if I hadn't had a fender. He would have landed on the back tire and it would have pulled him in and sanded off his private parts. Plus, bikes don't look as cool as you think they do without fenders. It's just an unfortunate fad that probably won't last long. It's like relocating a tag. What could be stupider than sticking your tag out where the wind catches it and makes your aerodynamics even worse? Fortunately, lots of companies have realized that it's best to take modern tech and put it in classic motorcycle beauty. In the 70's they didn't have the technology but they did know something about beauty. And they had fenders, right? If you want a beautiful bike you have fenders. It's fine if you disagree. Here in America you have the right to be wrong. ; )

[@shark2075]

The stupid thing here IMO is to ride two up without an actual passenger seat. Not having a fenderless bike, even tho you are right about it being a safety device. That said, it is not a temporary fad, it's been around for years especially in the bobber scene. Your tastes are yours and yours only. If you don't like it it doesn't mean the counterpart is wrong. And you speak about companies putting modern tech, but companies are first and foremost subject to safety norms getting stricter and stricter, it isn't really a first choice for them.

[@Jimbobbington]

I see your point. This mod is 100% reversible at this point. I'm going to leave it like this for a while and see if it's something I want to stock with permanently.
