The First 5 Mods you must do to your Indian Scout Bobber

[@AdamTuminaro]

Full time content creator here. For a channel with under 20K subs, you are GOOD at this my friend. Your narration is concise and well constructed, your clips flow together well, and your audio mixing was perfectly balanced. If I could make one (totally unsolicited) suggestion, it would be to invest in a mobile recording setup for your vocals. Something like the Tascam DR-10L would be a killer option. Clean vocal audio without the need for an interface, or otherwise bulky setup. Thank you for the awesome video! Saving this to reference in the future 🤘🏼

[@bobbywalter8669]

agreed. the way he takes the time to show the aftermarket/stock comparison

[@AristeidisKypriotis]

I had a long list of motorbikes as my next bike, when I saw the Scout Bobber on the street I knew it had to be it. When I heard the sound on one fitted with the Freedom 2-1 combat exhaust..... no other motorcycle exists now in my mind

[@MeatballRebel]

I upgraded my fork with Legends suspension cartridges and it made a big improvement. Why stop at 5 mods, have fun customize 😜

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

Yes! That’s high on my list! All I need is a little extra $$ 🤣😅 thanks for stopping by brother! Can’t wait to see your chopper series!

[@taron.y]

What was the cost to upgrade the forks?

[@MeatballRebel]

@@taron.y ​ I paid about $900 for the cartridges and installed them myself.

[@grumpygumo9775]

Love the rear signal lights! The exhaust looks way better too twisting and turning out that way.

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

In my opinion, is the best looking exhaust out there! The only negative is that you loose lean angle

[@reneespinosa5460]

Yup, I rode the stock seat for only a month and got the comfort seat. It’s night a day! Glad I did it. Great video man as always!

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

Right? Sometime I put on the stock one just to grab pics and always ask myself how I did 15k mile on it 😂😂 Thank you for watching! 🙏🙏

[@reneespinosa5460]

@@RickyNotSoMartin no thank you for making videos! You were the first video that popped up when I was thinking about getting into motorcycling. After watching your videos I was convinced and now I’m a proud owner of the scout bobber thanks to you my guy! Keep it up bro!!!

[@ZinoAmare]

I am not a cruiser guy, I had a demo day with Indian for the FTR and with the people there they made me curious about the sportchief sadly it was not available at that moment, and so I swung my leg over the Scout Rogue with a switch exhaust full system and instantly fell in love with it, that feeling didn't leave me for a week currently counting. damn it I must have one xD

[@73macrino]

That exhaust stands out like crazy, sounds bada$$!!

[@jd9308]

I came late to the live party. It was almost over when I logged on. Any way, the mods I've done or in the process of doing...1st- Seat, went with Mustang, stock seats are brutal. 2nd-taking out the stock air system and replacing with the S&S system. 3rd-exhaust. 4th- rear shocks. 5th- floorboards. Great video and as always, you got one sweet bike! Ride and stay safe in Texas!

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙏🙏 what shocks did you with?

Dude, you said at the beginning that just throwing your leg over it you’ll love it. It’s true. I wanted a BMW K1200rs. I sat on a scout bobber and I immediately said I’m getting this. Now I have to wait till spring to get one.

[@davemoreno4323]

Great to meet you yesterday! I got a kick out of your genuine happiness.

[@pdsarizona1191]

Brilliantly done (as always). Background score, narration, editing... Top notch but we need more videos from you :) I got corbin solo and progressive 444 11.5" on my bobber. Both transformed my bobber completely.

Thank you so much for your vids, especially this one about the mods! After watching your honest review, I just put in my order for my first bike ever, a 2022 Indian Scout Bobber in Black Smoke. I was on the fence about the exhaust between the Freedom Performance and the Vance and Hines, but your video about the Freedom Performance made the decision for me. Thanks again!

Sick bike brotha! I'm looking at purchasing a 2022 Indian scout bobber twenty and you're bike is def sealing the deal for me lol

[@TruthSeeker9038]

first big things i did to mine were switching the hallogen headlight for an LED, changed to a saddleman 2 up seat, upgraded the exhaust, and got saddlebags. next is the shocks, newer exhaust, floorboards, better clutch, performance intake

[@garyrohlman6013]

GREAT INFORMATION THANK YOU BEEN RIDING HARLEYS ALL MY LIFE HAVE A TRIGLIDE AND. SOFTAIL AND JUST MIGHT GET A SCOUT 2 RIDE AROUND IN MY SMALL TOWN.. IM. 70 YEARS OLD

[@DNA305]

Honestly no bike is perfect until I mod it the way I like it. I own a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber Twenty. 1. I totally 100 percent agree that the stock seat is garbage. I upgraded my seat to a mothers bobber style and I love it. 2. Also agree that the stock headlight is garbage as well. Though I should of upgraded a while back since I mostly ride at night but yea well worth upgrade. 3. I did the exact same combo on mines and love it. No videos does it justice then actually listening to it. Plus I like shorter exhaust pipes and the stock is too long for my taste. 4. I don't actually mind the stock ones. The only thing is since I am replacing the rims for bigger I am having to change the rear ones out. 5. I replaced mines with the fox shocks they sell at Indian and its night and day for me. The rides are so much smoother. My own personal upgrade to add would be the rims. I am not a fan with the stock rims but mostly the rear 150. I upgraded mines to 200 but they will soon arrive in late March. On the highway and it can probably be the stock tires but the bike tends to not grip correctly. I am changing mines to 18x3.3 front and 18x5.5 rear. I feel the wider stance will perform much better and give it a look I want. Also from tank machine I ordered their rear fender to compliment the look I am trying to go for. I have time to figure out the rear lights but still searching. Love your bike and stay safe out there.

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

I agree! Making your bike your own is one of the best parts of wining one! Thank you for watching!

[@briantatge7081]

I did the exhaust also. But I went with tailgunners. I also did the smoke signals. They are pretty sweet.

[@thecallfam]

First mod I did was the suspension, then the 10” apes tilted back so I didn’t have to lean so far forward, LED headlight, and finally the exhaust (Indian shorty). 2022 bobber sixty. Also, I’ve never had a problem slipping out of the stock seat. Maybe I’m just more chill on the throttle.

[@Jimbobbington]

You've got to upgrade those rear shocks! The Progressive 444s are available in stock 11" length, but I still went with 11.5" just for that slightly longer travel for improved comfort and handling. You wouldn't know from looking at the bike that it's a tiny bit higher in the rear.

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

That’s good to know! 💪💪 I’m going to check those out for sure! Thanks for the info!!! 🙌🙌

[@pdsarizona1191]

Agree with Jimbobbington :).. He inspired me to go for progressive 444 11.5". I absolutely love the way my bobber handles now.

[@taron.y]

What was the cost on that mod?

[@Jimbobbington]

@@taron.y I think I picked up the 444s for under $800 at the time. You also need a motorcycle jack to be able to get the back wheel off the ground.
