- So if you bought your Scout Bobber anywhere other than the US you got the International tail piece and not the side mount that came stock on the US version. Here is a step by step process as well as part numbers to complete the conversion. If you like the video consider subscribing. See the list of part numbers below.

Thanks for the video, Jay. Really appreciate it. Will have to look at ordering the parts from out of province though, the Indian dealer here is on backorder for nearly everything. Also such a hassle trying to find out of these are legal here in Alberta. Basically the only easy part so far has been watching your how-to-video haha. Cheers.
These guys have been helpful.

100!!!! Wahoo!! Time to celebrate with Tacos!!!! Tacos for everyone!! Jay said he will buy the beers. Just look for his motorcycle and stop by an say Hi Jay Beer 🍻
Tac0 Man I’d be up for that!
Jay excellent videos walking you through the process in a clear informative way. Keep up the good work. A joy to watch!
Simon Townley glad you like them. Been slacking a bit. But I have a few more coming shortly
Nicely done sir. Very helpful as I wait for my mount to arrive from the States. IMO the international mount looks awful. I'll be glad to be rid of it. Thanks Jay.
Thanks for the Video Jay, I did this tonight and it was really easy for parts and labour with the help of this video.
gforce10101 nice! Ya it’s a pretty simple mod. Worth doing in my opinion. Thanks for the kind words
Looks good !!!!! I like this mod better than the air filter mod....... Lol
S S 😘that’s ok. I like the air filter mod because braap braap.
But I still appreciate you checking it out!
Great job going in without instructions and updating it yourself
Michael Esquivel it wasn’t too bad. Fairly intuitive
That tail peace looks like it would make a great sissy bar.
Johnny Striple it’s pretty stout. Cast aluminum. I must admit I have used the tail piece to muscle the bike around the garage before. Probably shouldn’t have. But it happened. Bolts to the subframe. So it’s strong.
Thanks for the video mate
Did you do it?
@@jay_fast sure did man! Thanks!
Great video! Im thinking about getting à bobber and do exactly that!
Just a thought: we dont actually need to see you when you're working on the bike... Try a different angle next time and let us see what you're doing. Other than that, you got a new sub. :)
João da Silva it’s def not me wanting to be on camera. It’s lack of tripod. But I will see what I can do! Thanks for the sub!!!
Personally, I prefer the tail license plate, rather than the side plate. But, good video on how to do the conversion.
Photo Biker thanks. Appreciate that. Ya to each their own. I do think you chose the best colour. The Corbin seat you choose looks good too!
I think that the great thing about the bobber is that there are so many ways to personalise and customise it to your own taste, and since everyone has different tastes, it makes for a great platform.
Photo Biker very well said! Couldn’t agree more.
Nah, get a bracket and plate kit and sit it on the bobbed fender. If you can imagine the sorta V a clothes peg makes think of two of those raising up the plate frame and its lower back legs bolting onto the fender.
I’ve been wanting the license plate mount you removing . And different tail light and relocate them so I can put better saddle bags
When went in my big 4000mile road trip. I had to put this holder back on and swap my tail lights for the joker machine ones I’m running now to fit scout saddle bags from Viking.
thanks
Did you end up doing this?
On my to-do list, THANKS
Wade Wuttke did you do it yet?
Your vids are top notch! Very informative!
Joe Davis are you gonna do it to yours?
$100 well spent. Bargain ! Good install video, cheers
funguseater40 late on the thanks. But thanks!
@jayfast Can you please provide measurements of the side mount (where the licence plate screws on)? Thinking of buying it but we have weird licence plate sizes over here. Cheers!
EqualLayer yes. I’m away from home till the first. But I’ll get it to you. Where abouts are you located?
@@jay_fast thanks for replying mate. WOuld greatly appreciate it if you can hit me up once back. I am from a place you have probably never heard of, Malta :)
Gentle reminder with regards to my previous comment ;) Would love to know dimensions in order to determine local plate size. Cheers
EqualLayer I’d never forget about you. So.
The Canadian plate is larger than the US plate. I had to make new holes in my plate. But bolt centers measure.
3” tall by 5.5” wide.
The Canadian bolt centers are 4” tall by 5.5” wide.
Makes sense? Like this : : 3” tall by 5.5” wide.
So I did modify my plate a bit. If you message me on Instagram I’ll send you more detailed pics. @jay_fast
@@jay_fast Will drop you a message on insta. Already following :) Thanks so much for the info.
I'd never be able to make a video like this. It's not that I don't have a bobber (I don't) -- it's because I would be cursing and swearing continuously.
I always find myself doing a bit of cursing now and then
Does your back get wet when there wanted on the road because of this?
If there is water on the road you are def getting wet on this bike.
Getting my bike in France and it comes with the ugly plate holder. Wondering what I’m gana do about it. No I know😃
hi jay. Do you think i can order the side mount kit from BC's indian dealer?
Yes. 100%.
This site is great too
www.indianpartsnation.com
Thanks for the video Jay, Inspired me to fit the sidemount on my UK model. Only I can't buy the individual parts from polaris UK, only a complete (£169) kit including the un-needed lamp. So I've ordered from Indian USA for everything else except the lamp and am using re-shipping to get the parts to the UK. I reckon it'll save me £50 once shipping and VAT have been paid. :D. (That's £50 more towards the comfort saddle in black.... Why is the black comfort saddle more expensive than the black/brown one??)
Nice! I am glad it’s gonna work out!
A better seat is also a worthy upgrade!
@@jay_fast Just waiting for the full black comfort seat to be in stock, they reckon March. Backordered already.
Would you consider ordering the parts and sending over to the UK, can't seems to get them here, only a kit with parts I don't need like the twilight as an example?
Jay, how do you deal with the mud splashing up your back including the back of your head during the rainy season with that chopped fender?i think the tail does a good job in preventing you to get dirty whenever it rains
I am a fair weather rider. I don’t ride in the rain.
But other than that I just wipe off my jacket.
@@jay_fast -thats a problem for me too especially if I use mesh jacket..mud just goes thru the fabric so I prefer to wear a leather jackrt most of the time..
Do you have a link for the sidemount?
I don’t have a link persay. But you can see all the part numbers in my Instagram. Same name. @jayfast
I’ve also used this site before.

Hi Jay, thanks for this great video.
I'm coming from Germany and have this ugly original plate holder and like to change it. I found now here in Germany only plate holders which you can fix on the rear wheel axle.
This looks now much better for me, although because you have no problems with the cable...
Is this an original Indian part and if yes, can you tell me the part number, please.
Then I can check if its possible to assemble it here in Germany...the laws her are much stronger than in US.
Thanks in advance, Peter
I have all the part numbers listed on my Instagram profile post. Just find the post with the plate change and they will be there.
Hi Jay, Ive got a 2019 Indian Bobber. I live in England and want to buy one of these brackets. Are you able to give the name of the shop where I can buy it from?
Great Video, perfect step by step. Enjoyed watching.
steve burvill thanks! I bought the pieces direct from my local Indian dealer.
@@jay_fast thanks for your reply.
Keep up with the good Videos
steve burvill thank you sir
Hi Jay! Came across your video and was hoping to get some info as to which dealer you got all the parts at. I noticed you lived on the island. I live on the lower mainland. But none of the dealers here have them. Tried even calling Bellingham but as you’re probably aware, the borders are on a pretty tight lock down.
Would you be able to tell me which dealer you got the parts from. I was about to just order them online but there seems to be a couple of items that are out of stock. Btw I live in BC
Rainier Flores ya. I ordered them from indian motorcycle of Bellingham. When I did This it was still 2017 maybe early 2018. The only Indian dealer at the time was sea to sky motorsports. Ive heard they are better now. Went through some changes. But the service department was brutal. So I went else where.
Where in BC are you?
Jay Fast I live out in Langley. Bought my bike from Sea to Sky. Their service is still brutal. I’ve called Bellingham but they can’t ship and I can’t cross.
I’ll be sure to come back to this video if/when I’m able to pick up a side plate mount.
Rainier Flores what about international motorsports? The other Indian dealer?
There is also this website.

Hey what’s up! I run the Indian parts page on instagram! Keep the videos going!
RoadXWarrior oh yes. Ya I’ve heard of that. I’ll have to check it out! 😎
Hello, Jay Fast, nice video. Where can I buy the whole Side Mount kit? Here in Belgium it's about 480€ without installing…
Pascal De Vuyst what? That’s crazy expensive.
I paid about $120 US I believe ?
I ordered mine through the Indian dealer in Washington state. They ship all over. The girl there said she was shipping the same tail conversion to a fellow in Australia.
They are called Pacific Northwest motorcycles. They sell bmw/Indian
1-866-411-8725
Give them a call and see what they can do
Oh and you can install yourself. It’s a bolt on affair.
Nice man, very kind of you. I called the dealer, he gave me a reduction of 80€... still 400€ Self Installing… but that's no prob.
Your videos are a great help! Thx
Pascal De Vuyst that still too much. 400 euros is still $450 US.
The whole kit should $150 US max.
Sure it is!!!! I'll keep in touch and try my luck on your dealer.
Hey Jay Fast,
I just recieved confirmation about the shipping of the side mount kit to me.
Thx for giving me the correct information. I paid 172$, shipping included... a lot better than 450$ @ my local Indian Dealer.
Sincerly
Pascal

DMS, US models do not have a steering lock.
EU models do have steering lock, thankfully, plus ABS on all versions.
A bench wouldn't be a bench if we didn't shove everything under it to make room on the workshop floor for more junk!
Andy I feel like you and I would be good friends!
