Tell me about it. These newer cruisers from Benda, triumph, Indian, & Honda got me turning my head. Never ever considered getting a bike until I walked past parked Indian bobber last summer.
The bike looks and sounds awesome! I'm almost done with my little mods. Dirty Bird Concept radiator cover delivered yesterday and 150 front tire and 240 tire installed over the weekend. Once I'm done getting the radiator cover painted and installed I will post my bike on UA-cam soon. Your bike was the reason I bought my motorcycle and caught the modification bug.
Not yet. I will put together something over the weekend. I was very disappointed with the Dirty Bird Concepts radiator cover not fitting correctly and will have to modify it to fit perfectly. I was hoping for a paint and install mod, but that didn't turn out as planned. Im also still in the process of trying to find someone to install the rear fender kit from Twisted Choppers. Those are the 2 major mods that I have left on my motorcycle that will please me for now or until I get the mod bug to do something else.
dam i love that floating seeeeeat! Scout Bobber is by far the sexiest midweight sport cruiser out and also like the triumph bobber but bang for your buck incomparable
I appreciate the compliment. I usually wear a skid lid or open face, but this particular day was unusually cold for South Carolina. My hands were so numb I could barely pull the clutch lever.
Nice bike man love all your videos. Quick question for your tail lights. When you deleted your rear fender did you just place an adapter plate on the rear shock bolt?
I originally had them mounted on the rear shock bolts with some cheap EBay brackets, but looking back, they stuck out too far, that’s why they are now mounted under my seat as you see in this riding video.
Drag bars from Indianaftermarket.com. The mirrors are from Ebay but I cut the mounts on the original mirrors and fabricated them on to the new mirrors.
Haha, I get asked about the riding position all the time. It’s very comfortable. Would I ride across country...probably not. My clutch hand usually cramps up way before any back pain.
I ride a 1200 he sportster and that’s the one thing I gripe is the lower back pain after a 1-2 hour ride. Considering jumping ship to a Indian and the way your bike looks makes me want to. Haha take care!
The riding position is surprisingly comfortable. The seat is ok, but it does raise you a couple of inches over the stock seat. That can be a good thing or bad. Also with no rear fender, the solo seat is slick. When you hit the throttle, you better hold on. Not sure I'd want to ride a great distance with this set up, but I sure do get a lot of compliments as it is.
That’s a great question to put into perspective for viewers. I’m 5’10”. 2 hours is my longest ride. The only discomfort is from my left hand cramping from using the clutch.
@@oxouk Thanks for the reply, been looking at your videos for a while. Love the bike! This is the one that has me actually wanting this bike lol rather than all the race replica style bikes.
Hey brother, do you experienced any vibration wen going speeds above of 50 miles per hour since you installed both front and rear wider tires ,Any kind of vibration ? Thanks
You do not need to modify the swing arm, however due to the minimal clearance, the Metzeler 240 tire is the only tire that I know of that is guaranteed to fit. Others have installed different brand 240 tires that rubbed the swing arm.
I’m not a fan of the style only because I like clean simple lines. As for Freedom as a brand, I highly recommend them. At the end of the day, it’s your money, your bike, so do what puts a smile on your face.
Both seats are ok for short distance, but can get uncomfortable after an hour or so. With the 1920 solo seat under hard acceleration? You better hold on brother, and don’t make the mistake of cleaning your seat with a slick finish product.
Hey man - if you are ever interested in doing a "Why you ride / why the scout bobber'" video, let me know and I'll add your video to a vlog I'm putting together .... stay safe brother!
Looking to get this type of bike. Super concerned with the riding position. I dont know how tall this dude is but i bet he would be sore after riding an hour or two in this position.
This is not a bike for long rides. It’s a bobber for bobbing around town. He looks about 6 foot or taller some mods can make it easier for taller riders
@@oxouk thanks so much that’s why myb mine has a vibration because I did not balance the rear tire , my tire came installed from Rc components I assumed it was balance…
@@oxoukwen I lift the bike up the wheel spins freely. my wheel has no visible balance weights on the outside, , like the front one has balance weights … Do you have balance weights on the outside of yours?
@@oxouk thanks a lot for your feedback I sure appreciate it. Also you have a beautiful bike,, I hope to get one soon and do the modifications that you have on yours , with a little bit of changes.... Have a nice day and thanks once again for your feedback.
@@oxouk Thanks. Im the same, im sure you feel comfortable on it otherwise you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make it look as completely badass as it does. :)
@@ShimaMohanadas the only time you feel it is if you are sitting for a long period of time in traffic. You are always mentally aware of something hot near your leg therefore when you come to a stop, your natural foot planted stance keeps you comfortably away from the pipe.
2yrs later, and this is still a cool video, Thanks for creating this... I've never rode a bike, and now suddenly, I want one😅

Indian Scout Bobber design wise, has the best lines of any bike being made right now. Fight me.
Stunning bike! Beautiful 😍
Absolutely stunning bike! You've done a great job with it brother. Enjoy!
Oh and thanks for finally putting out a riding video! Didn't want it to end.
Fantastic video!! Thank you
Stunning ride!
This is amazing thanks for sharing this with us my dude😁😁😁

Can’t wait to see it Peter. The whole purpose of my video’s was to provide information and show people what can be done.
No video yet Peter?

The exhaust 👌
FINALLY love the bike btw
I wanted this bike so damn bad. Damn I wasn't on Santa's nice list this year
You made me love this bike bro the way yours is how I want my to be if I buy one this is lovely
I would put the handle bars a little higher to get rid of the lean but it looks awesome 👌
Juste Nickeeel ;) ! Sa fait rêvé !
dam i love that floating seeeeeat! Scout Bobber is by far the sexiest midweight sport cruiser out and also like the triumph bobber but bang for your buck incomparable
100%. You can’t beat the bobber for the price. Its low center of gravity makes it easy to handle also.
YUMMMY! LOVE IT! Going around once in LIFE....THIS!
Take any youtube proceeds and buy a mic.
For real
It's a noise canceling Mic, they limit the Noise recording when it gets to loud, learn your tech before you stupid post
@@tremmer2229 LOL sorry you got but hurt
There’s always that douche on a thread. Congrats, you take trophy.

Thank you for the music, much better than the sound of the bike.
Thanks for watching and helping me get paid.

Cool bike!!
Love it❤️❤️
Looks good👍
Beautiful bike mate
Badass set up
Beautiful bike I love it what size tire is that on the back
I like your spinners.
Really nice 👏🏻😉
WTF this motorcycle is the greatest thing i've ever seen before
That's a very cool motorcycle
❤
You now need a nice cool open helmet, to complete the look!
I appreciate the compliment. I usually wear a skid lid or open face, but this particular day was unusually cold for South Carolina. My hands were so numb I could barely pull the clutch lever.
I fell in love with this bike, I want the same
Modt eyegasmic thing ever
Beautiful bike
Weird seating position, awesome riding footage.
Everyone always asks me if it’s uncomfortable. It’s very comfortable, however after a couple hours I’m done.
@@oxoukif you’re done after a couple of hours, I would say it’s not very comfortable then. Seems ok for short rides, but not for long ones.
Bad ass bike.
Nice Bike
Looks sweet
That is bad ass
Excellent

Where did you buy the light bracket
Perfect bike
Like the slow sweep of the exhaust pipes. Heat shield? Does it burn your leg?
Haven’t burnt my leg yet. It can get really hot if you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
Looks a wee bit uncomfortable but is beautiful
Nice . first mod 240 tire kit
Nice 👍🏽
Lovely bike. Can you tell me what bars you have on there as well as where you got the rectangular mirrors from. Ride safe. Thanks.
Drag bars from Indianaftermarket.com. The mirrors are from Ebay but I cut the mounts on the original mirrors and fabricated them on to the new mirrors.
Thanks for that, really appreciate the reply. Cheers
Looks Awesome! Are you interested in doing mine for hire?
Love the video. How tall are you?
Thank you. I'm 5'10"
Hello wanted to know If I'm able to add a passenger peg using this exhaust ?
I am looking to get one. May I ask what price neighborhood am I looking at as it currently sits? Your ride is looking rad!
The bike in stock form was $10,990. Roughly $17,000 at the time of this video.
Leather gloves... completes the look
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💯💯💯💯💯
Wounding
Hello Boss. I love Your bike, the mods. I waited to see video like that, its great. But...the music...why oh why :(
Haha... the wind noise was so bad that I needed just back ground filler. The music was just part of the editing software.
@@oxouk Heeeeeeyyyyyyy, I liked the music. 🙌
Are your foot controls considered the Forward or Mid position? Thanks
They are mid position
I have 2018 scout bobber . How much it will cost to make it like urs ? . Btw way u did a great job on ur bike . It’s a beast
I can’t say for sure, but I have approximately $6000 into the bike so far. The biggest portion of that being the rear wheel and tire set up.
So gorgeous
Does the seat help your back enough? That riding position looks rough. Drag bars make the bike look sleek but that position I’m not sure.
Haha, I get asked about the riding position all the time. It’s very comfortable. Would I ride across country...probably not. My clutch hand usually cramps up way before any back pain.
I ride a 1200 he sportster and that’s the one thing I gripe is the lower back pain after a 1-2 hour ride. Considering jumping ship to a Indian and the way your bike looks makes me want to. Haha take care!
How much I need on my bank account to get something like that 🔥
Are them drag bars?
Bike looks amazing, how tall are you?

How Comfortable would you say the ride is also how does that solar sadel seat seat feel

Lookin fuckin sick man! Can’t wait till I can mod my bike out. Once my lady gets sick of riding on the back lol
Sounds like everyone is feeling a bit sick! Great bike.
Hey brother, do you experienced any vibration wen going speeds above of 50 miles per hour since you installed both front and rear wider tires ,Any kind of vibration ? Thanks
None at all. Had the bike up to 100 mph a couple times. Steady as can be.
@@oxouk thanks buddy
Where can I find the exhaust?
Nice bike sir, do we need to modify the rear swingarm for 240mm wheel?
You do not need to modify the swing arm, however due to the minimal clearance, the Metzeler 240 tire is the only tire that I know of that is guaranteed to fit. Others have installed different brand 240 tires that rubbed the swing arm.
@@oxouk thank u sir 🙏
Triumph bobber for me :)
It looks epic without the rear fender, but don't you get pelted with gravel?
When I stop, I usually have to dust off a little dirt from the seat, but it’s minor.
Wait..no shifting? I need it!
What do u think of freedom combat 2-1 exhaust ?
I’m not a fan of the style only because I like clean simple lines. As for Freedom as a brand, I highly recommend them. At the end of the day, it’s your money, your bike, so do what puts a smile on your face.
How's the vintage 20's seat compared to oem for comfort...Bumps.. lower back...sliding back when giving throttle
Both seats are ok for short distance, but can get uncomfortable after an hour or so. With the 1920 solo seat under hard acceleration? You better hold on brother, and don’t make the mistake of cleaning your seat with a slick finish product.

That sounds like a plan. I’ll keep that in mind and be in touch. Thanks for viewing.
Love these bikes but hate the way you have to sit on it 🤣
Guys Indian scout bobber or Harley48 which would you choose?
can we get a list of parts? That is sick!
Nvm I found your other video. :D cheers!
God, that's a sexy bike.
sweet
How does the bigger front tire feel?
Literally no different at all. Definitely not like the rear tire.
where did you get your bike custom like that?
Did everything myself. Check out my other videos for ideas and tutorials. Thanks for watching.
Nice! What year and exact model is it?
2018, Indian Scout Bobber, Thunder Black, non ABS model.

Nice bike man.. looks so fuckin good. But is that wider tires on the stock rims!?
The front is a 150 instead of 130 (stock rim), and the rear is the 240 kit from RC Components.
@@oxouk is there a 18" raider front wheel to match up with the 18" rear wheel that comes with the RC Components 240 kit?
@@tawaitaiAs far as I'm aware, RC does make an 18" wheel to match all their rear wheels.
@@oxouk yessir!
What kind of pipes did you put on ? ,or if anyone on here knows ty
Freedom Performance Radical Radius. Straight bolt on, no remapping or tuning required.
@@oxouk ty very much, beautiful bike
the audio is fine the music added is what wrong that bike the only sound track that’s needed.
好帥!!!!
Brother did you had to balance your rear tire? Thanks
Yes. RC Components sent the tire and wheel separately and my local Indian dealer balanced it.
If you have any vibrations, check your wheel clearance, brake caliper, belt tension etc…
@@oxouk thanks so much that’s why myb mine has a vibration because I did not balance the rear tire , my tire came installed from Rc components I assumed it was balance…
@@oxoukwen I lift the bike up the wheel spins freely.
