Nice video. I have a 2021 standard version. ( I came off HD's also ). Some of your comments I can agree with. I must have gotten one with a good battery. 3 years old still fires right up. Keep in mind, I ride it just about every day though. In the winter, I do not take battery out of the bike. Gets a maint. charge every 5 days, and it has held up fine. Don't be in a big hurry to swap out air cleaner. Nobody yet has documented proof of any significant HP gains, other than butt dyno. I had about 15000 mi. on my bike this spring, so thought I would take a look at air cleaner. Looked like new. Next time I go through the effort, I will put in iridium tipped plugs also. I am also not ready to put new shocks on, as I have done enough tweaking, that I can tolerate the ride for a tank of gas or so. I knew this coming into the purchase, as I do not really tour anymore. This was a very refreshing change, and a great retirement gift to myself. Enjoy your bike.
Thanks Mike. Yeah I’m definitely going to take my time with the performance mods, mostly because you have to do the intake, exhaust, and tuner all at once which is costly.
I've been riding an 883 since I bought it brand new for 8.5k € in 2012, now it's 60.000km and I'm seriously considering the scout, Harley lost his mind with prices nowadays, at least in Europe.
Ngl you’ve made me feel more comfortable with letting go of my HD Roadster to get into the LRST platform. I’ve been playing with the thought of having two different makes of bikes for different reasons. All in all HD is a better platform for relaxed touring. I love my Roadster, and I know you loved your 883 with the 1200cc upgrade, and then your 48. All in all I see why you still wanted that bigger engine and that Softail platform. I’m still searching for that final reason to let go of my Roadster entirely given Sportys will never come back.
I think harley has been thrown off their game. Thet cancelled the evo 883s 1200s 72s 48s and instead started selling sportster s and nightster which i think people like the scout more than, and they also sell all electric brick bikes now too
Have a scout twenty as well, rear shocks are brutal, rpm guage sucks and seat leaves something to be desired. But the handling, styling and drivetrain more than makes up for it. added a raptor shift light instead of the 300$ indian offering, sawicki 2 to 1 exhaust and plan to swap seat eventually. If you can fix or work around the quirks it's well worth it.
Hit 5k on my Indian Scout Sixty in less than 6 months. Bike is so nimble and smooth.. My buddy who has a harley sat on my bike as it idled and was in shock how there was no shaking. He said his bike shakes really hard while riding and idle. I had nvr known Indian was quality until people brought it to my attn. The 2 delerhips are about hour plus away but bike seems fine I only go to dealership for warranty check. I get mixed reactions but mostly positive.
I just bought the 2024 bobber 60 and I think the bobber are popular cause they the cheapest way to get an indian. That was the case for me, but now I'm wishing got something with actual rear suspension. Roads are shit in louisiana
The stage 1 really improved performance in my eyes. I get an avg of 46-50mpg and I was shocked because I live in western PA and there are a lot of hills. I bought mine used and it has the radical radius pipes and the drone is insane. That being said tho it has been in the shape for the past two months with a 651 error code because one of the cylinders stopped firing.
To me the radical radius sounds the best from all the full exhaust systems I’ve heard on the scout. Could you feel a difference in power at all? I know 2-2 pipes aren’t ideal if you’re looking for power
@@IronBornRider The sound really is great especially under hard acceleration, but highway can get very obnoxious. They do make passenger pegs a lot more difficult since they need an offset bracket and the heat from them is insane even with the heat shield if I don’t have on thicker riding pants I can’t really hug the tank at all with my legs. But the style of the pipes allows for more lean angle. The power is punchier I find myself sliding back a lot more if I’m not careful. If the limiter is removed it could definitely go well over 120mph.
@@boogeyman7777 I’d say the Scout is closer to the Fatbob. If you’re looking for a bigger bike I suggest the Chief all the way. Especially if you’re in traffic a lot. I didn’t realize just how hot the scout would get.
Glad you're enjoying the ISB 20. I love mine. The tank is 3 1/2"/13mm bolts and a quick release plug. Takes about 2 mins to remove it. The pros/cons of the airfilter location are very subjective. I dont mind it, as its out of the way and hidden better from elements and my leg/foot. Stock suspension front/back is completely crap tho. I upgraded the rear shocks first and the stock seat actually wasnt to bad. I also dont see the price difference between makes like Saddlemen seats, pegs, intakes, bars, etc are all similarly or the same price.
@@IronBornRider I have Ktech Razer IV's, Ohlins were my first choice til I seen they dont make a matching front drop in. Don't like to mix and match suspension. They're definitely pricey 1k+ for the Blackline Ohlins/Razer IV's. The ride is night and day different with just the rears.
2019 was them first year that the USB came stock. I paid 150 for the saddleman solo seat. your bobber is loud because of the cheap slip on, get a quality exhaust. taking the tank off isn't that hard. agreed that the battery is shit. did you adjust the rear suspension sag to 275 MM? if not you should try that before you buy a different suspension.
One thing I disliked about the Harley was the air filter on the side, your legs against it all the time. ‘Upgraded air filters’ really aren’t unless you have it mapped on a dyno, then you’ll see how little difference they make.
Speaking of Battery bought Mighty Max battery from amazon 45 dollars in 2019 and still going strong.Very impressed and I have bought batteries much more costly but all failed.Not getting paid by Mighty max just thought to share since video touched upon poor OEM one.
My stock battery didn't last a full year. I live in Northern England so we do get kind of cold winters. I now use a battery tender but in the 8 years its had 4 new batteries, the fourth one being the one I had to put on this week. Bought a Yausa and with the battery tender on there I'm hoping I get a good run out of it.
This video would be a great drinking game video....take a shot every time he says "Indian Scout Bobber" haha Dude, we get that you're riding an Indian Scout Bobber...as in the title.
It's funny how the sky high prices for aftermarket stuff can also influence the desire to mod lol Like you say, the lack of aftermarket stuff can make the prices higher but explain honda monkey part prices then? tons of aftermarket and it's all still sky high lol That extra loudness can be attributed to that higher compression, always seems to go hand in hand. Engine design plays a big role too of course but I always noticed that things with over 10-1 compression always seem to be extra loud. Curious if you gave the new sportster a looksee before you got the Scout?
Thanks Bill! I did give the new sportster a close look. It def has better performance numbers than the bobber but it’s also priced a bit higher. That and I’m reluctant to get into a revmax engine before all the kinks have been worked out
@@IronBornRider yea i'm not a fan of the sound on the rev max engines at all, no hope to get any sort of decent sound from them. when I hear one runnin its like nails on a chalk board to me lol
I’m used to it coming from a sportster that also didn’t have a fuel gauge. I just reset my trip meter with every fuel up and know that I have to get gas every 100 miles or so
@@IronBornRider Well, I have a list that includes the Honda rebel 1100 and a Harley Sporster as well as the Indian scout 60. I just love the look of the Indians but I also have mindful of other factors such as after market customization as well as comfort.
Are you from the DMV area? I’m planning on getting either a Scout Bobber or Iron 883 as my first bike? Idk how much you would recommend for me to pay for any one of them
I am, I’m in the Rockville area. I’ve had both, and they both have their merits. The sportster is great because it’s built like a tank and you can modify the bike to your hearts content. But if you want power/performance go with the scout.
If I could change something on a Scout, I would want a 4 speed transmission. The way I would like to ride is to go through a gear and then shift and then go through the whole range of rpm again, and then shift, as long as the motor has enough grunt to pull through. Why shift all the time? Isn't that only for the guy that has to be first at the end of a 1/4 mile? That's not me. I'm not that guy. That's not how I ride. I like going fast, and I can do that right off of idle, but only if I have a Harley, but there is more out there than just Harleys. I would also like rear shock that have about 3 inches of travel with a spring selection based on my weight and whether or not I ride with a passenger, and I would like adjustment for both rebound and compression. It all works together, but without travel what do you have to work with? Nothing. I wish the seat height was made by reshaping the frame rather than by robbing the suspension, which to me seems like a hack job. Where were the engineers? I like the quickly detachable fairing for the Scout. How about quick detach lowers for the trips which will always include some rain? I would also like a 200-mile fuel range. I was thinking that a guy could get a high back seat made, and right behind it, form an aluminum fuel tank going back across the fender with a raised back, shaped to look like a thickly padded seat, but it's really a two gallon gas tank, and at the high part in the back have a Velcro flap that hides a filler neck and cap. Cover the whole thing as if it was a seat to math the rider seat. Then all you need is a valve you could turn with your left hand when the fuel light comes on. I think I would like quieter exhaust if it wouldn't kill performance too much. I don't mind a little bit of sound, but I think the trend is going too loud for my taste. Everyone is different. I like the old-fashioned analog style speedometer and don't' need a tach. I don't believe a speedometer should pin itself as soon as you turn on a key. That I don't need. Seems silly to me. Either the speedometer will work, or it won't, and you will find out when you ride it. I guess I'm a bit old school. I do need a fuel gauge, no lights. I need a bright headlight for night riding. I need a touring seat, one that is wider, one made for the rider and not for the look of the bike. That's just personal preference stuff. Not all of us are the same.
The slip ons are no longer available for some reason on amazon. But I just googled exhausts for the bobber and they came up. The footpegs are kuryakyn, and I’ve had them on other bikes. Very solid for the price
I have a 2023 Bobber ABS. I bought a set of Freedom Performance Sharktail slipons that look awesome but are way too loud. Still looking for some quieter slipons. Leaning towards the Supertrapp universal 1 3/4" inlet slipons, from what I've heard, they sound great.
Ooof that’s a hard question to answer but if I could only have one bike it would be the low rider s because it’s a better all around motorcycle and better suited for long distance riding.
Thanks for the reply! Real quick, what’s your favorite full face helmet in your collection? I need to buy one. Riding the Bobber Twenty as well. And do you like the ones with the internal drop down visors?
@@majrminer sure. I haven’t tried out the premium brands (shoei, arai) but I do like the ruroc atlas 4.0, scorpions are nice for the price, and the Simpson mod bandit is a good option for modular
I've been looking at videos on Harley 48, Scouts, Triumph Speed Master, Honda 1100 Rebel, and I'm sure they are all good bikes. To me everything sounds like a lawn mower except for the Harley. I just can't get over it. Everyone seems to be all about exhaust and how it sounds, but to me, they all sound like lawnmowers any way, and I don't want to hear anything but a quiet drone of the motor on a Sportster as I go down the highway. I want it easy on my ears. So what I want to know is, how quiet is the Scout motor, and by that I mean the motor itself? I'm thinking it might be the quietest motor, but it's difficult to tell with all the exhaust noise. Does anyone know? Harley has some valve gear noise and pushrod stuff going on, and although it's not necessarily a bad thing, in time that can get to getting louder than it should be. So, my question is, How quiet is the Scout motor?
Thanks man! I quite like the gloves too. I’ve gotten used to not having a fuel gauge from my sportster days. Just gotta remember to reset the trip meter every gas stop
I generally try not to ride in the rain because I don’t find it enjoyable regardless of the bike. But the couple times that I did get caught in the rain, the scout was fine. Just go easy on the throttle
@@hulkhatepunybanner yeah I have a soft spot as I’ve had two sportsters. The scout is much better all around in terms of performance, cornering, stability in my opinion. Doesn’t have the character or charm of the sportster but a worthwhile trade off I think
Good question. Just off the bat I think streetbob has more potential for being a better all around motorcycle. Streetbob is more comfortable stock, but scout bobber is more fun (power and handling).
@@IronBornRider Thanks for the reply mate, I'm looking at both, but being on my Ps for a few more months, can't really test it yet. Hopefully will get my hands on both. I'm not sure if you shared the cost or not in other videos, but I have in the past added a few of the accessories from Indian and they don't show the cost. Excluding the bike, how much were the accessories? as i'm looking at very similar mods from "factory" pathfinder headlight, comfort seat, tachometer, piggyback rear shocks, 5" mini apes (assuming it's the reduced reach handlebar)... maybe they sent you an accessories price list?

What seat and shocks did you upgrade to? I also have a 2022 scout bobber 20
If I could change something on a Scout, I would want a 4 speed transmission. The way I would like to ride is to go through a gear and then shift and then go through the whole range of rpm again, and then shift, as long as the motor has enough grunt to pull through.

It all works together, but without travel what do you have to work with? Nothing. I wish the seat height was made by reshaping the frame rather than by robbing the suspension, which to me seems like a hack job. Where were the engineers?
I like the quickly detachable fairing for the Scout. How about quick detach lowers for the trips which will always include some rain? I would also like a 200-mile fuel range. I was thinking that a guy could get a high back seat made, and right behind it, form an aluminum fuel tank going back across the fender with a raised back, shaped to look like a thickly padded seat, but it's really a two gallon gas tank, and at the high part in the back have a Velcro flap that hides a filler neck and cap. Cover the whole thing as if it was a seat to math the rider seat. Then all you need is a valve you could turn with your left hand when the fuel light comes on.
I think I would like quieter exhaust if it wouldn't kill performance too much. I don't mind a little bit of sound, but I think the trend is going too loud for my taste. Everyone is different.
I like the old-fashioned analog style speedometer and don't' need a tach. I don't believe a speedometer should pin itself as soon as you turn on a key. That I don't need. Seems silly to me.

Aren't the shocks adjustable to losen the suspension up a little?
They are, but to me it doesn’t make much of a difference

I generally try not to ride in the rain because I don’t find it enjoyable regardless of the bike. But the couple times that I did get caught in the rain, the scout was fine. Just go easy on the throttle
@@IronBornRider *I'm considering this to replace a Sportster that gets like Bambi on ice in the dry and wet.*
@@hulkhatepunybanner yeah I have a soft spot as I’ve had two sportsters. The scout is much better all around in terms of performance, cornering, stability in my opinion. Doesn’t have the character or charm of the sportster but a worthwhile trade off I think
@@IronBornRider Awesome. Thanks.
Good vid
Thanks Mike
Could you link me to the LED headlight you got for your bobber?
Let me know if this works for you amzn.to/44e9Q6n

Vale la pena comprar esta moto para viajes en compañía ? Gracias 💥✅💯
For long trips I wouldn’t get this bike. There are better ones for travel
@@IronBornRiderperfecto Gracias ✅
Scout Bobber or Streetbob 114?
Good question. Just off the bat I think streetbob has more potential for being a better all around motorcycle. Streetbob is more comfortable stock, but scout bobber is more fun (power and handling).
@@IronBornRider Thanks for the reply mate, I'm looking at both, but being on my Ps for a few more months, can't really test it yet. Hopefully will get my hands on both.
I'm not sure if you shared the cost or not in other videos, but I have in the past added a few of the accessories from Indian and they don't show the cost.
Excluding the bike, how much were the accessories? as i'm looking at very similar mods from "factory" pathfinder headlight, comfort seat, tachometer, piggyback rear shocks, 5" mini apes (assuming it's the reduced reach handlebar)...
maybe they sent you an accessories price list?
This guy's annoying..
He really is
