Pathfinder Headlight in the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber

Installing the Pathfinder headlight aka FTR 1200 headlight into the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber. Was a pretty straight forward install. Great light with excellent beam pattern. I highly recommend, even though the light is a bit on the spendy side. Also check out FNG MOTO. Great channel even though i poke a bit of fun at him...

[@nascarfan1000]

Light looks extremely brighter than the stock one, now just to see what it looks like at night, great video.

[@jay_fast]

I can do that

[@FNGMOTO]

Holysh!t man that was funny. I don’t care who you are those things suck. Lol. Thanks for the shout out bro, it’s much appreciated. The light is beautiful and I take back what I said in an earlier vlog, it’s definitely worth the cost. In performance of course appearance. Nicely done dude, ride safe and keep the shiny side up.

[@jay_fast]

F.N.G Moto any time brother. Love watching your vids.

[@FNGMOTO]

Jay Fast thanks dude

[@photobiker4309]

Cheaper than the light I put in mine. ;-) I put in a JWSpeaker 8690 adaptive headlight and I am not disappointed at all. The stock light on the bobber is alright, but not really great. Now, you just need a dark evening to show off your new light. :-)

[@jay_fast]

Nice! That’s the direction I was heading till I saw this light. You really do get what you pay for!

[@jeffmoat6820]

Nice! Like you, ordered mine months ago but chickened out on the install and had the dealer do it. Looks 1000x better

[@jay_fast]

It really does look better. 👍

[@48MotoX]

That intro is the best thing I've seen on KZbin XD

[@jay_fast]

Ha. It started out as an inside joke between some buddies. And it just kept on giving

[@1devilD]

I got mine put in when I got my 2019 bobber, in the beginning of July. It makes a world of difference.

[@jay_fast]

justin williams I agree. It’s a worthy upgrade!

[@1devilD]

@@jay_fast I just got the new indian comfort seat for the bobber only got about 30 miles on it but compared to the orginal one its alot better... if you need the part number I will post it for you.

[@bobayotte2940]

@@1devilD what's the number? Thanks

[@1devilD]

@@bobayotte2940 the new Comfort seat from Indian is 2884226-VNA its $250.00. But it's still better then the orginal stock, but not as pricey as a Corban...best advice I can give is see if they have 1 in stock and make them put it on a bobber and feel the difference before you buy it.

[@SpyderRios]

thanks for the install video. I haven't yet picked up my bike until tomorrow and I already bought the Pathfinder headlight. Like you said, the headlight is worth paying the extra money. It gives it a retro futuristic look that you don't get with any other headlight.

[@jay_fast]

SpyderRios you are gonna love the bike!!!!

[@RebelRides]

Hahaha rolling. I replayed that intro about 10 times. I don't think I've ever heard someone make that noise before 😂

[@jay_fast]

Ha. Well same. Every time I click to respond to a comment the video restarts. So I’ve heard it many many times now.

[@richicamacho7989]

Man those clips are giving me so much trouble! I've been repeating your video for the last half hour lol

[@jay_fast]

I do them in a cross pattern. So think like a clock. 12 then 6 then 9 then 3. The last is always the worst. But you can get it!

[@Tekhed454]

Great video dude. Very helpful. Just got mine the other day so will be installing tonight.

[@jay_fast]

Tekhed454 nice. It’s a great light and looks amazing I think you’ll be really happy with it

[@Tekhed454]

@@jay_fast Although I wasn't quite as fast or efficient as you with the spring clips, (haha) the install was rather easy. And yes it's a great light.

Thats awesome. Love what your doing to the bobber man.🤟

[@arczi.p5217]

Hi......! Can i ask what front tire stand you are using ! Is this is mounted to the floor or just free standing! I love the led light just ordered ! Thanks be safe

[@jay_fast]

ARCZI .P it can be mounted to the flor of a trailer or something but mine is free standing. Very portable. It’s called a sport chock by Baxley trailer co. Www.baxleycompanies.com

[@Cos127]

Nice light! Great video as always. 😎👌

It’s a good light. A great upgrade.

[@Anhnoles]

what kind of turn signals are those?

[@jay_fast]

Anhnole they are joker machine duel rat eye

[@SmerkPlaysTheW0rld]

Looks good. Love the halo on that light.

[@jay_fast]

Thanks. Ya I just fell in love with the look of the light.

[@iamjtbe]

I had the JW Speaker one that lit your turns for you. It was better and brighter BUT started freaking out after only a few weeks. This came out at around the same time and it is bright and a definite upgrade from the halogen. It's not JW Speaker bright and has a crappy pattern compared but it works without freaking out. It also looks SO good in the bucket especially when you leave the key in park mode......

[@jay_fast]

iamjtbe it’s my favourite looking light for the bike. I was also looking at the adaptive headlights from JW Speaker. The only reason I didn’t was I saw the FTr and knew I wanted that light. Then. They released it for the bobber. Win win. But I agree. It’s def not the best light for the dollar. But it’s solid.

[@iamjtbe]

@@jay_fast Yeah it looks so good off and on. Definitely can't say that about most lights!!

[@jay_fast]

iamjtbe totally agree

[@lacsapdv2834]

Very, very nice done, m8!!! I installed the Wisamic Halo Headlight from Amazon, cheaper than the Pathfinder, ofcourse, but the Pathfinder still kicks damn ass!!!!

[@jay_fast]

Nice! How do you like your light?

[@lacsapdv2834]

Hey, @@jay_fast, I like the headlight a lot. I posted a video of the light.

[@mississippimotoman2238]

I also installed the Wisamic as well, black with the Halo. It works a ton better too. The pathfinder looks awesome , it’s just that expensive price tag man. Saving money for other accessories like bags and a sissy bar.

[@jay_fast]

Mississippi Motoman it’s great to see the aftermarket stepping up and supplying more and more options for owners. Also let’s you choose something that not everybody has👍 Seems like everyone has the pathfinder light now.

[@mississippimotoman2238]

Jay Fast it’s an awesome looking light ... but mine was a bitch to install too with those bastard clips... same as you.. Anything to keep the rubber down though . The stock light was and still my biggest complaint and question mark. It is dangerously dim if you get caught out when the sun goes down.

[@chaka5589]

What pipes do you have? Did you get to get it tuned? Great Headlight... #1901...

[@jay_fast]

CHAKA55 yes to all. If you search my videos you can see the install of my Vance and Hines grenades. You can also see my stock dyno run. As well as my performance tune. I have one video of just the dyno run. I have another video of the dyno runs as well as me explaining what I did to the bike.

[@bia9977]

Jay, what happened to your front turn signals? Did I miss something?

[@jay_fast]

bia9977 well. I swapped them. But when I was trying to edit I was missing a bunch of footage. But now that I’ve done a few where I disassemble the front end in other videos I can forgo that missing footage and tell views to reference the other videos. They are joker machine duel rat eye. Quite like them. Still need to do the rears.

Sweet I've been thinking of doing the same to mine looks great man

[@jay_fast]

Scodo ! I matter what you choose. The install should be close to the same. But I am really digging the headlight.

[@coldsnap4467]

Calling it a FTR 1200 headlight is very inaccurate. It was on the Scout long before the FTR was released.

[@jay_fast]

Coldsnap FadeAway I’d have to disagree. Where did you get this info? No scout has ever had an LED headlight. I know it’s technically called the pathfinder headlight. But this is the same headlight found in the FTR.

[@coldsnap4467]

@@jay_fast Because the Scout Pathfinder headlight was out before the FTR was released. I know this because I have a Scout, and I've bought this headlight.

[@jay_fast]

Coldsnap FadeAway well I have a scout too. And I’ve also bought this headlight. I purchased it on Jan 30/2019. Yes. The FTR was delivered to dealers mid May/2019. At least here in Canada. But the official release of the ftr was early oct 2018. Anyways. The only thing you can really nit pick would be me calling it the ftr headlight and not by the name Indian gave it. The path finder headlight. Which I clearly call it in the beginning of the video. But. I still appreciate your view and your impeccable taste in motorcycles. Ps... I’m right you’re wrong 😝

[@coldsnap4467]

@@jay_fast Really mid may? It was almost July when our Indian Dealers got them in my state... And yea, I have a 2017 Scout Sixty. It has a Crusher Maverick exhaust, Screaming Scout Intake, and a Tune. It's a blast to drive. My only complaint is that I have forward controls, so the lean angle isn't that great.

[@jay_fast]

Coldsnap FadeAway nice. Great setup. Are you going to convert to mid controls? I swapped my rear shocks and went a bit taller. Helped out on comfort and handling. Went with the nitron r3

[@seldomseensavage3459]

Spend another $100 & get the J.W. Speaker 8690 adaptive 2. I love my Indian, but a lot of their aftermarket “upgrades” are inferior to other manufacturers’ products

[@jay_fast]

Walter Savage I am inclined to agree with you. I’ve never ridden with that headlight. But I rode behind meatball rebel and he had one in his chieftain. The headlight was amazing. Always projected the perfect amount of light in the corners. It looked good and was super bright. That’s the way I was leaning till these came out. That being said. I just personally love the look of this headlight. So it wins my vote. But. If someone was after the best light. I’d say you are right.

[@seldomseensavage3459]

Jay Fast yeah I love the look of the Indian headlight too. I pretty much love all things Indian & their iconic graphics. You obviously have excellent taste lol!!....& I really enjoy your videos. Oh Canada 🇨🇦!!!

[@canadianrydz7057]

Hey word to the wise, taping that cover onto the light makes it easier to get those bastard clips in and still keep the light aligned properly. It looks like the FTR light is made for the same cover (which makes sense) but trying to do this with another brand like eaglelight is a real bastard. Mines off centre and i keep meaning to fix it.... but the weather is nice

[@jay_fast]

CanadianRydz705 great tip!

[@fm24594]

You must have gotten lucky with those clips. Those were a total you know what to install.

Does the Pathfinder headlight have a GLASS face?

[@jay_fast]

[@BlackbirdSSR]

@@jay_fast Thanks! I bought one of the $50 Amazon specials and while it looks great and is brighter, the plastic face has faded and has a milky look in a very short time. If I spend money on the Pathfinder headlight it should be glass.

[@jay_fast]

Chad Osiris it is in fact plastic

[@elibutcher5447]

What do you think of the headlight now that you have had it a while?

[@jay_fast]

Eli Butcher I really like it. I think it looks the best of all the options out there. But it is over priced. There are definitely cheaper and brighter options. But for me. I like the pathfinder the best
