You are one cool dude. You live, Mr. Rockett. Many years ago I met you in Raleigh, North Carolina and you hooked me up with backstage passes and a pass to sing Rock N Roll All Night with the Hooter girls on stage. Afterwards I snuck to the side of the stage and watched you play until security noticed me and said I couldn't remain on stage. Thanks for being you.
More on these Shocks please Rikki. Night and day difference sound good to get my Bobber optioned with them from the factory but would like you giving us more info on how they differ from the stock ones. Great Video.
I feel like "just totally worth it" leaves lot unsaid.Was the bike cornering better? Holding the line better? Absorbing bumps better? Felt planted? I guess it must mean all above or not
Found you from Dazzle Rebel Rides. I'm getting a Bobber next week same colour as yours. Great to know that the drummer in my favorite band from my youth rides the same bike as me.
Can't wait for the tour this year it's going to be an awesome show as always have a great day and hope everyone has an awesome summer we all go see poison
Well, well, well. Rikki Rockett as I live and breathe!! I remember you from the Triumph New Bonneville forum Waaay back. There was a lot of good humoured banter in those days, none of it malicious of course! I see you've still got aTriumph in your garage too! I'm on a Ducati now, but looking possibly at a Scout, so enjoyed your Vlog, dropped lens and all! Peace Bro' and ride safe.
Would you recommend this bike for an everyday commute of 30 miles on the highway? I have a Harley ultra now and just looking for something a little lighter. Still keeping the ultra. Thanks
Rikki Rockett She’s doing great! Thanks for asking. Got 2 girls now with boy names. Elliott and now Cameron is the new one that you “met”. We’ve got meet n greet again so we’ll see you in ATL.
Hi Ricky I was wondering if it's okay to give you information about a person from Grass Valley California that is an artist he does really nice paintings and does carvings he's also an imagineer at Disneyland in California I think you would like some of his work I don't personally know him but I know of him he is on my Facebook page and he's also musician plays base
Rikki Rockett his name is Raymond kinnman he is a amazing artist a great person he teaches wood carvering classes he has a amazing story about when he was 9 years old ask him about it deffintly a good hearted person let me know if you are able to find him on Facebook he is on my friends list
You can see on his page some of his carvings and paintings . See you guys at the show in NH. I met bret back in 2000 in Mansfield Mass on the power to the people tour he gave me and a old girlfriend of mine backstage passes and tickets to the last show of the power of the people tour at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut we were able to go down and it was an awesome show we were not able to get backstage that evening because Bret was not feeling well so I never got a chance to again to say thank you to him I'm sure the meet and greets are going to go pretty quick you guys will have to get on stage can you let Bret know that I said thank you again very much have a great tour and can't wait to see you all in New Hampshire I'll be there at the meet and greet and I'll definitely be awesome to see the vlogs from the road when you get a chance
LOVE MINE! MODIFIED IT HEAVILY! CURRENTLY MOTOR 165 HP/140 Torque,weight down to 450lbs,fat tire kit( 240 rear front a little bigger,mini bullet turn signals, blacked out speedo,drag bars with mirrors on ends and hang down, heavy springs in front shocks, fox shocks rear,chopped front and rear fenders, performance header exaust,command five module,performance intake,big bore kit and few other mods. DESTROYS ABOUT EVERYTHING I RUN IT AGAINST! NOT MANY MORE MODIFICATIONS THAT I CAN DO OTHER THAN TURBO CHARGER AND NITIOUS.😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks for the Video. But Im kinda thinking why you bought an upgrade Shocks from Indian? Im sure there are better shocks there that is similar to what the Yamaha Bolt R Spec Shocks. Im not sure though if that will be the best shot with better results.
I have a 2018 Scout here in NZ and just got my NITRON shocks from the UK today. From what i have heard they are way better than FOX. I was going to go with OHLINS but $500 more and the suspension expert here said NITRONS as good. [they are used a lot in Racing] Im fitting them tomoro and have a whole lot of bumps and corrugated corners etc memorized that im itching to try them out on. hope you have done something about those quiet pipes! I put Radiant Stealth shorties on mine,.. bit too loud but I quietened them a bit,. now just right
Great video I am strongly considering the bobber but want to travel long distance with it. 3 to 5 hour trips one way. I am going to get the comfort seat and want to know if you think your suspension along with the seat will do the trick to make the bobber ready for long distance. I appreciate your feedback! Thanks
No need for an extra body or a bike stand. Lay the bike on its right side to install the left shock then lay it on its left side to install the right shock. This way the swing arm moves up and down easily. No problemo! I just added 12" JRI shocks to my Scout. Badass!
And I just thought you were my favorite drummer! lol A man of many talents. I have plenty of stuff for you to fix around here. lol Congrats Rik on another awesome vlog! Keep them coming!
Following on from your video and recommendations, I've had the Fox performance shocks installed on my bobber. Man, I have to agree with you - great shocks and a massive improvement.

Did you increase the height of the rear from stock? Much effect on cornering?
I wanna know this as well.

Give us the part number of the shocks
That was a cool install!! Those shocks look rad.
So these are just the normal upgraded fox shocks that can fit on the regular scouts? You didn’t need special ones specific for the bobber?
I love your enthusiasm!
Cool video man! Nice bike also 😎 will be subscribing 🤘
What are the biggest differences? Kudos on the stand...
Would you recommend this bike for an everyday commute of 30 miles on the highway? I have a Harley ultra now and just looking for something a little lighter. Still keeping the ultra. Thanks
Are you the drummer from Poison?
AWESOME INSIGHT !!!
The Best fuking drummer! And he had a vlog!! Xdd Amazing
Fuck.... Rikki read my coment 😶😲🤤🤣🤣!!
Did that raise the rear at all?
Chris C Oddly not much at all!
Rikki Rockett's Legend Tripping Right on thanks

LOL @ "short test ride" turned into 1 hour... Been there, done that.
Brother!
You got such a great bike,
question! How come you got so many tool boxes and no motorcycle stand!
Just sayin! No disrespect!
Patrick Kem I had just set up my shop that week. I have one now.

Your a inspiration brother
Keep up the good work
Interesting. Thanks Dude. Bummer "bout the lens.
Nice yellow Norton in the frame!
Great Video Rikki, Sorry You Broke Your Lens!!!
This is gonna make the ride more softer ?
Thanks for the Video. But Im kinda thinking why you bought an upgrade Shocks from Indian? Im sure there are better shocks there that is similar to what the Yamaha Bolt R Spec Shocks. Im not sure though if that will be the best shot with better results.
Josef Jr. Ababat They are Indian’s upgrade. I looked into other options, but I went with these.
First! ❤
Excellant! Im getting so many tips on improving that seat ride and customizing on utube prior to getting my own next yr. Sweeet!🤙🤟
Why don't you trade in one of those toolboxes for a proper jack????
S S I got one. When I made the video it was a Sunday.
I have a 2018 Scout here in NZ and just got my NITRON shocks from the UK today. From what i have heard they are way better than FOX.

You are a man of many skills, Rikki. Super impressive!
Be well brother. Enjoy! 😘💚
nice shop, nice Hillbilly lift lol. What's the exact FOX shock name or part number so I can order them?
Rikki is the shock upgrade worth it? What differences from stock to the fox? Love the channel
Bummer about the lens dude!
Harbor freight, Pittsburgh hydraulic lift table. Got mine for $307 out the door
Did it raise the height of the bike ?
Slightly.
Got to ride a scout and agree the stock shock will jar your back teeth loose if you hit a pothole of any size😬
Are these the optional shocks you can pre-build your bobber with on the Indian website?
So, does it give you a more plush ride, or how is it different from the stock shocks ?
A rock-star that can wrench!!! Hell yea!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
nice info great show
Thoughts on a wide rear tire....??
All those tools, and you dont have a lift?!
Spending that royalty $
Painful woodworking.
So, you've had these a while now. Any update on what you think about them? Are they still great? Great video.
I appreciate the update. I'm considering them, or Progressive 444 shocks or even Ohlins 524.
Following on from your video and recommendations, I've had the Fox performance shocks installed on my bobber. Man, I have to agree with you - great shocks and a massive improvement.
You look like you are 15 and 50 at the same time.
Roberosein I’ll take as Good?
ANother good video!
Damn Bill Murray lookin good! Glad to see they worked and were a good investment!
Rikki Rockett just humor. No harm intended. I enjoyed the video. Keep it up
