Fitting a 180 rear tire on the Indian Scout Bobber

[@sdmascar8905]

ATTENTION!!!! This message is not to hate on Jay Fast videos. its just a service announcement. I do not recommend putting a 180 tire on stock rims of a bobber. I just did it to mine and it makes almost no difference in the width of the tire. The small rim pinches the tire down to a 150 tire size. Save yourself the extra 100 dollars for the 180 and all the extra hassle and frustration of trying to get a 180 tire to get the bead to seat on stock rims. just get the 150 tire unless your willing to mod the whole rear end so you can use a proper rim for a 180. Its a waste of money and sanity to use a 180 tire on stock rims. It makes little to no difference in the width of the tire once you get it on the stock rim. just do the 150 on stock rims

[@jay_fast]

I never measured the wheels mounted. You could be right? I was just trying out different things. Worked for me. Running victory octane rims now for the last few years with pirelli rally str tires. Been great

I totally recommend it. I’ve done three sets for myself. And two for buddies. That’s more than paid for the tools and balancer.
It is totally a pain in the ass. But it’s also fun!

Honestly, Indian should have made the Scout and the Scout Bobber with a 180, looks wicked. Nicely done, Bro...

Arturo Gatti I agree. The tank is so muscular. And then a skinny rear. Like I said. Looks like a dude that skipped leg day.

Looks great. Why did you go with 180/65? I see the stock are only 150/80. What size front did you go for?
Great job fitting. I'm considering a change too. Getting prices for Avon Cobra, Michelin Commander II and Dunlop D404 tyres.

I just wanted a beefier tire. I felt like the front of the bike is so muscular. The rear needed some beef.
The from is a MT90b16. I have no idea what that sizing is. But it fits.

[@pacodrift]

Hell yeah, I was waiting for this video, I read once that the 180 tire brush with the side lincense plate holder but apparently not. I see the rear of the bike taller, do you adjust the suspension or something to fit the tire? Excellent video as always!

[@jay_fast]

+PacoMtzRoman no suspension adjustment other than setting the preload to me weight. But that doesn’t rise the rear end. The shock is at full extension when at rest. I still bottom out sometimes on hard bump and no rubbing.
If you do go 180 just make sure the tire is intact 180. Some tires say 180 and are actually a bit wider.

I tried reading through everything so apologies if this has already been answered: HOW DOES IT RIDE compared to the stock tires with the fat sport tires? Looks great but the ride matters, too.
thx!

[@jay_fast]

Ron Fox no it’s all good. It’s hard to say because I wore the stocks down so much they were pretty much flat. So they rode like shit. Which made the new ones feel great.
But I’ve also changed the seat and changed the shocks in those times. So. My opinion may be skewed. However. I’ve now got over 5000miles on them and just a few burnouts. They grab road really well. Bike feels good in corners. I would buy them again.

[@MosquitopOficial]

greetings from PR, What is the maximum size of tires that can be used on the rear wheel?

[@jay_fast]

I am pretty certain on this. But not 100%. But I don’t believe you will get anything wider than a 180 rear tire regardless of wheel width. It will hit the rear subframes. So unless you modify them you are limited to a 180 rear.

Hey man, how did the 180 tire ride on the scout? I just got myself one and took it to the dealer to see about a wider tire and they told me "that's not a thing" to put 180 on this. Obviously, I don't believe that. Did you have any issues? What do you recommend as I'm looking to put on a wider tire without doing any modifications to the bike?

[@jay_fast]

Putting a 180 tire on a 3.5” rim is beyond the spec of what’s recommended by tire manufacturers.
However. A 180 tire will mount and not hit on the frame. I’ve put over 6000 miles on the 189 with zero issues. I loaded the bike up with gear and cruised from Victoria, British Columbia to Southern California.
The issue with the 16” rims front and rear is it leaves tire selection lacking. There aren’t many options.
Since then I have purchased some 2017 victory octane rims witch are a 18” front and 17” rear. Many more options and bolt right up. I have a video out on that.
But yes. I like my bike with a 180. I think it looks great. Handles great and I’d do it again.

Hi jay. Do you know of any other tire of the same size will fit ? Or it has to be the cobra ?like the pirellis you installed with the victory rims. Will a pirelli same size as the cobras you used here for the rear work ? Thx man.

[@jay_fast]

From everything I’ve gathered. Anything 180 or narrower seems to fit. If you want to go wider then you need to do some rear sub frame work.
I’ve run a 180 cobra and night dragon on stock rims. And as you saw 180 pirelli on octane rims. All have plenty of clearance.

raisingcane225 there are Avon cobras. They have been discontinued. The chromes are just the new models. It’s just a no name stand. Really good though. Highly recommend. Condor makes a really quality one but they are spendy. I’m sure one can be found used for less.

Might end up doing this to mine. My garage has had it in for 2 days just for new tyres and break calliper cleaning. “Apparently” the Kawasaki dealer doesn’t have the correct rear size wrench and has had to get one from home. Oh F right off with that BS.

[@jay_fast]

Rene Fonseca you have a few options. If you good fat tire kit scout on google you will see a few options. But they are spendy. you can also do a rear subframe delete for the scout or bobber. This eliminates the rear fender. You can fit a 240 but will need a custom wheel. I don’t know the max on a scout (I think 170) but a 180 is the largest a bobber will accept if you keep the stock rear fender.

[@MrMr-tr6sk]

The bobbers rear subframe and fender mut be wider that the regular scout ? I thought they said I couldn't do this on the scout

[@jay_fast]

Mr Mr you could be right? I’ve never owned a scout. But on the bobber. I can say that the 180/65r16 will fit a stock rim and will not rub at all. Even at full bump.

I just got my 180/65/16 from UPS. Cost me $200 and change online. Emailed my dealer about putting it on for me this was his response. " The subframe (rear frame member) is ~187mm internally so that 180 is going to be a tight fit. If you hit a big enough bump and bottom out the rear suspension you might have tire-to-subframe contact." Any issues like this ? Sounds like he doesn't want to do it. Your thoughts ?

[@jay_fast]

100% not an issue. I just did a 4000mile round trip to California with about 80lbs of gear on the 180. I bottomed out a few times on the really big bumps on the freeway. I can say 100% that there has been zero rubbage. With the Avon cobras. Some tires are a bit wider/narrower than advertised. But the cobras def fit.

I have quite enjoyed the swap. It’s a good tire. Inspires confidence. I did a 4500 mile round trip just after installing them. I don’t run it any more because I put victory octane wheels on because I wanted to run knobby tires. But I would go back in a heart beat.
These bikes don’t let you lean the bike over very far anyways. I have found no Weird handling quirks after the swap. I really like it.
The tire mounted by hand. I’m not over stressing it. Besides. As far a mods go. A tire is under $250. So if a guy doesn’t like it he can always swap back. Cheap in the world of motorcycle mods.

@@jay_fast another quick question if you don't mind answer do you any other wider rim that would fit the bobber or the victory octane's the only rims?

[@jay_fast]

@@santi8751 yes. There are aftermarket option. A 180 tire is the widest you’ll be able to run without removing the rear fender and subframe.
There are kits out there that give you a new fender and rim. Will allow you to run a 240 rear

[@dkeyyablo11]

Hi, what brand of stand is that you are using for the front tire? Thanks

[@titobang7416]

The old front tire looked fat; was that stock oem tire? if so, what was the width on that?

[@jay_fast]

TITOBANG74! Yes. It was a stock front was 130/90-16 rear was 150/80-16

[@titobang7416]

Jay Fast nice! Your video has made want to purchase an Indian Scout now. Beautiful bike ❤️❤️❤️

[@jay_fast]

TITOBANG74! Do it. At least take it for a demo. Such good bikes!!!

[@Terry-Alan]

im
lookin to do the same thing to my 2018 bobber, so when u bottom out , how bad is it? any damage back there to the fender , or anything else.. I am lookin at the Shinko 777 front and back set up , im lookin for reassurance lol , let me know

[@jay_fast]

Unfortunately with the stock suspension. Even with preload properly set to my weight I still bottom out somewhat often. But the tire does not contact anything. The over all height and circumstance is the same as the stock tire. It’s just wider.

[@Terry-Alan]

well i weigh about 175,, we will see what happens, the 180 looks bas ass, the stock 150 is just too skinny for our bikes, changed my mind on the tires, gonna go with Michelin Commander 2

[@Terry-Alan]

Wassup , i have 1 more question for you , I found some really nice Michelin Scorcher 32 for my Indian , Tire has that nobby look, prob is the come in 180/70 16 ! u thin this will work or would it be too tall , again i weigh about 170 ish , let me know what u think , google the tires , let me know what u think , thanks for ur input brother 👍🏽

[@jay_fast]

Terrance Amone so according to the tire calculator. It is taller. But not by much. Just under 1/2”. Based on the rear sub frame layout you should be ok. It will put your speedo off a bit but it’s based off of a percentage. So at low speeds the difference will be non notable. At 20mph you’ll actually be going 20.3 mph. But at 65mph you’ll be going 66.21mph.
Not a big deal in my opinion. However. Just because a tire says it’s 180 doesn’t mean it measures 180. Some are slightly bigger or smaller. And it’s that 180 measurement that will get ya. Because the tire gets close to the licence plate mount. But I do agree. I like the scorcher. Looks good. But pretty sure that’s the HD tire and it has little HD symbols in the side wall. If yup can get past that. I say try it. Worse case you sell them.

[@Terry-Alan]

The hight on the scorcher is 6.90 and the width is 25.2 , what are your specs on the Avons?

Hey man where did you get that service manual you’re referencing?

[@jay_fast]

I ordered it online. It came pdf and then I printed it. I think I paid like $40. I think

[@jay_fast]

Here I believe. The one I got didn’t come color. Which isn’t awesome. The manual highlights parts in colour which is very helpful. You have to double check it has colour. I didn’t know when I ordered.

[@mateiserban1]

minimum rim width for 180 cobra is 5'''. the scout rim is 3.5'''. a wider tire will not fit properly on a narrow rim,

[@jay_fast]

Serban Matei you may be correct.
I’m just saying it will physically fit. As you can see in the video no special tools were needed to spread it over the rim. The bead seated nicely. Ive got over 5000miles on them now. Both in the twisties and loaded up on a road trip.
The 180 rear works great. Looks great. And I’ll be doing it again when the time comes to replace it.

[@Boobtube.]

how wide is the factory wheel? {rim}

[@jay_fast]

XboobtubeX I believe it’s 3.5”

[@alexniazy2090]

is front tire is 180 as well ? thanks for sharing

[@jay_fast]

No. The front is a MT90r16. It’s very close to the stock size. They didn’t have an exact match.

It’s the stock rim. 16x3.5

[@larsgarrido6547]

The washer on the right side seems to be installed with the wrong side to the bike.. Should be turned arround I think

lars garrido what time in the video?

[@larsgarrido7540]

Minute 21.53

[@gashan72]

What year is it

[@jay_fast]

The bike is a 18. The rim is from a 16 victory octane. Maybe a 17?

What happened to your license plate?

As in what happened to the top of it? It was bolted on at the top and the vibrations stressed the metal and it sheered off. Had to use more bolts to keep it flat

[@Jason-mt2gf]

@@jay_fast I'm about to change my international tail to the 50 state version after watching your video on it. Great tutorial by the way. I guess I should be using 4 bolts to secure it. Do you think the wind played a role as it's side mounted?
