Significantly increase motorcycle power in the Indian Scout

[@Ridingfish]

Honestly, this is a great idea!!.. and I think you are spot on!! A quick shifter would be awesome... the one thing I love about the 60 over the bis scout is the all black motor!!

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah, the blacked out look is awesome. I'll most likely be adding my quickshifter in a month or two ... that should be fun!

Man that's awesome! The potential for the Scout and the Challenger to get monster numbers out of them is just amazing! Good video.

[@dadwithabike]

Thanks man. There's a guy on the ISB group who races his Scout. He's all modded up and runs turbo. I think he's pulling low 10's or high 9's in the 1/4 mile. That's a little much for me but I smell the big bore kit in my future 🤣

[@johnyhuitron556]

I’m just about to pick up a Rogue this year. Was really debating between the Bobber and Rogue. Finally decided on the Rogue.

If the Rogue was around when I bought my bobber I'd have done the Rogue ... I essentially built the Rogue anyway.

I know the story behind that bike quite well. I think you can squeeze more out of it HP/Torque wise but it really does all depend on who tunes your bike when it's ready.

[@blackwidowpowersports6037]

This build has been done and gains way more than a scout and we have the results on our page

[@jasonshortphd]

I just bought a wrecked Scout Sixty (cheap). Engine is good. The front forks and radiator are all it really needs. So I think this could be a ton of fun. Will have to look into the big bore kit.

[@dadwithabike]

Perfect way to do a build. I'd look at putting an FTR front end on it.

[@jasonshortphd]

@@dadwithabike I found a bobber front end from the same year. They appear upgraded from the sixty (dampening cartridge not in the sixty). Not sure on the length of the tubes though. Diameter is the same, single sided brake appears to be the same.

[@dadwithabike]

@@jasonshortphd they are sligthly upgraded. Cartridge in the bobber and spring driven in the 60 if I'm not mistaken.

@@dadwithabike correct. Do you know the length of the Bobber forks?

Got an answer from an Indian tech. They will work, and are actually a slight upgrade. So I am going to do it. Frankenstein-bike in the works!

[@hootertexas9711]

I want to see this sixty project happen. This would be the most interesting build series on my timeline: I was watching the scout 60 build Indian motorcycles in Charlotte did for their sales girl Amanda. I think a bad ass scout sixty build would generate a lot of interest. There’s not much out these on sixties . Most content out here is on scout bobbers .

[@dadwithabike]

Sadly that is true; however, most of what you do with the scout or scout bobber will apply directly to the scout 60.

[@hootertexas9711]

Let’s heat it!!!! I’ll be getting my sixty back in a week or so. I’m walking again and can ride!! I’m about a minute in but I’m thinking PV3, 2 bros racing, some 14s, road warrior

[@dadwithabike]

Don't forget the intake .... that'll do you wonders

[@hootertexas9711]

@@dadwithabike yes true. I’d go with the trask or s&s. I did see you would go with the high slung 2 into 1. Good idea: I’ve only rode around 800 miles with the 2 bros comp s. But I’m down in corpus. Twistes down here are non existent. I haven’t scraped mine in the few miles I’ve ridden with it. But I would also go with a different exhaust after my experience with the comp s. I think it’s too loud even with baffles. Also it really limits your saddle bag options because it pours hot gas right onto the bag. I glued a bunch of pot holders to my saddle bag so it won’t melt off.

Can anyone tell me by doing a big bore kit does it put more wear and tear on the bike or hurt the bike in any way?

[@dadwithabike]

It should not since it is just bolt on. You will have to get a different clutch (barnett or torque drive from rekluse). The ONLY reason I don't have it and cams installed is that I cannot find anyone in my area to tune it. Canned tunes won't work for a setup like this

It's the same one. You have to do some looking to get the right one, but same same.

[@mattstewart8818]

I like your idea for sure and its earned you a follow. However, the sixty is only a 5 speed transmission. Id rather mod the regular scout, as performance would be much higher than the sixty bored, and you get the 6 speed transmission. Of course thats not the point you're making, just the point i have. Haha. Obviously commented that before you got to the transmission part

What’s the difference between a pv3 tune and a Lloyds tune? My Indian dealership wants to put a Lloyd’s tube on my scout bobber cause I said I want more speed and they said that would remove the governor. I’m just not sure what the difference is between the pv3 and Lloyd’s tune. Thanks so much!!

What fairing do you have on your bike, I like it, looks good 👍 Also, what's on your left handlebar and Who's the manufacturer of your mirrors ?

When I first started looking at Indian Scout I was loving the Scout 60. Then covid hit and the supply was limited and I didn't want to wait. I bought a used low mileage Scout. It was/is totally stock. I'm gonna do the stage one and tuner plus rear shocks. She's plenty fast stock, but I want to open her up and let her breathe better! Your bike runs so great now and is so sweet! Great video and information on motor upgrades!

Thanks .... glad you find these helpful. And yes, Scout is by far the best performing cruiser on the market. I've yet to test ride the Sportster S but I'll get to that at some point so I can compare the two.

I was dreaming about that build for 2 years. Lol My only problem, besides sucking at wrenching, is the 60 is 5 speed and I like 6 speed. But if the topic is pure drag race, I get it.

Yeah, to be honest I rarely use 5th gear on my bobber. I normally haul ass, hit 4th then double shift to 6th to cruise

The ONLY problem is finding someone to tune it. That's the only reason I haven't done it yet ... lack of expertise in Austin to tune them once you do cams and a big bore kit.

[@freezezero0221]

Not hating just saying- The bbk has been around for a min (like 2018), your forgetting labor cost (unless you’re doing all the work), rekluse has a manual ie regular clutch pack (it’s what I use), and if you did bet money you’d be loosing money because a few different scout owners have already done the bbk with all the mentioned performance mods or similar and didn’t get the numbers you’re hoping for (from memory 90lb/ft and 110hp was the numbers for the near exact mods you mentioned). All that said I personally still plan to get the bbk for my scout when I can afford it, it’s the only real performance mod left atm that I haven’t already done. Enjoy the bbk if/ when you get it done!

[@dadwithabike]

Thanks for the response. I do all the work myself on all my bikes and vehicles (except for dyno tuning, that's done by AF1 racing).

[@zeroneg]

When you say "Regular scout", so you mean the Bobber, or just scout? Because Scout Bobber 60 is not the same. Is this just rounding up but in naming?

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah, I'm using regular scout to define the platform ... the 69 CI vs the 60 CI

[@zeroneg]

ok. Bobber has 69 CI also, but it is just one of the series of Scouts. So throws me off a bit. Cool.
