Indian Scout Bobber Fork Boots install

  • I like the looks of the Fork Boots (also referred to as Fork Gaiters) as it removes a little more chrome and shiny bits from the front of the bike. For this the front wheel, front brakes, and fender need to be removed but I walk you through the procedure here on my 2020 Indian Scout Bobber Twenty. Aside from blacking out more of the front of the bike, it also acts to further protect the forks from the elements and should prolong the life of the fork seals.
    The procedure is pretty easy and outlined in this video.

    Axle 52 ft lbs
    Pinch nuts 18 ft lbs
    Brake Caliper bolts 35 ft lbs

    I'm a noob and not mechanically inclined, but have been slowly upgrading my '21 Bobber ABS. I've switched out my levers, slip-on exhaust and head lamp and I *had* been looking forward to adding some sick fork boots. But after watching all the work needed, I'm gonna have to go to a mechanic. I hope my Man Card isn't revoked . . .

    Awesome video dude. Just installed my boots in about an hour and half. The tip on using the flathead in the pinch clamp while pulling out the fork was a huge help.

    For whatever reason I always thought that the front forks on the Bobber were 41mm.
    Thanks for the video dude. It's always nice to watch someone do something and also explaining how to. In not tech savvy and I'm trying to learn how to do these kind of small mods on my bike and videos like yours help a lot

      it isn't a bad process. Especially living in the desert, I wouldn't do what some people suggest and cut them and just wrap them around. Do it the right way even if it is more work. As you can see, it isn't that bad. Thanks for watching!

    Red rubber grease on the boots helps keep it smooth longer, and slide on easier.
    And yes the fork clamps on the scout are way too tight in my opinion.

    Hello, I'm considering purchasing the same bike. Can you disclose how much you paid for the motorcycle out the door. I want to make sure I get a good deal. Thanks in advance!

    • @MessyGarageBMW
      @MessyGarageBMW  4 роки тому +1

      They weren't making real good deals(especially on this model and color) due to demand. If you configure it on Indians website, that is pretty much what I paid for it. They moved a little on dealer prep and freight but that is about it. The margin on these is not huge so it doesn't allow much wiggle room. Buying new old stock (previous model year) is the best way to get a deal.

    Looks like a lot of work for a mostly aesthetic item. They look nice, but unless you ride in very dusty, dirty or sandy environment, would most people pay someone money to do the job? I could do it myself, but I don't think I'd invest in the effort.

      It keeps dirt and debri away from the fork seals and really isn't hard at all. It all depends on your comfort level mechanically.
