- After 21 months of ownership, almost 15 months of this channel and 95 videos, and now over 1500 subscribers, I thought it was a good idea to stop and share all the current modifications I have on the bike and get a good look at her as she is today.

Garage door opener wow love that I’m doing the same now
Thank you very much
Jimbo’s Indian has now become really iconic on YT. Definitely inspiring for any improvement idea for a new Bobber owner. Great job, tutorials and feedbacks. Keep going bro 💪😎✌️
Damn! That's very kind of you to say, means a lot to me!
Loving the part where you say "I built it for myself to enjoy" 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 World needs more people whith personality like you
Haha thank you!
Love the look, you have done a great job 👍
Thank you Ramon!
Always good to check out some mods!!
Keep growing mate!
Hell of a bike! New sub, for sure!
Thank you!
Definitely my favourite looking Indian scout bobber I’ve seen and the best sounding by far. Love all the mods you’ve done to the bike, great job 👌🏻
Thanks so much Rich!
That is a beautiful bolt kit!
You definitely have done some things to her. It looks awesome!
Thank you sir!
Wow!! I never thought I'd like a fender-less bike, averything is great!!!!
Thank you! It's a more aggressive look for sure!
Just this past weekend I test drove one of these. I'll hand it to them, it is a seriously quick bike and corners nicely. However I did not like how cramped I felt on it. I felt like I was just too tall for it and at 5'11" I am not extremely tall. After returning with it though I did have a seat on a 2022 Indian Chief bobber Dark Horse. What a fantastic bike, and just the right size and sit position. Unfortunately I could not test drive it as it wasn't road ready yet. They won't have a demo model in until March 2023. Gonna have to see if I can find one sooner.
Very sweet ride.
Thanks Tim!
Lotta great mods I would love to hear that exhaust
I've got plenty of videos of it on my channel! It's nasty!
awesome mods and build
Thanks Tim!
nice Colorado decals. Littleton, Co here.
Love the build! Makes me wish I picked up bobber instead of my Triumph.
Thank you!
That bike fucks!
Haha thank you!
Beautiful bike maan. 👊👊👊
Thank you!
@@Jimbobbington. SUBSCRIBED 👊👊👊
@@llsneakerspeek0834 much appreciated!
Great videos. Total newbie to motorcycling. I wasted no time finding a used Scout Bobber Twenty and it had the basic add-ons I wanted. It’s great fun learning about these motorcycles, and I appreciate your work here. Thank you for the info on the tires. My stock Pirellis are worn down on the back (bike had 6500 miles). Do you think it’s the first or second tire? Not sure the tread life of the stock Pirellis.
Also, I haven’t heard anyone discuss the front suspension. It would be interesting to learn more. I’ll keep asking around. As for the bolt kit, since you made this video have you found anyone else who makes custom painted bolt kits? Or would you have to have a shop do it for you custom?
Thank you!
Hey Jim. Your videos are entertaining. I got a question for you. I have a ‘23 rouge and just ordered the Free Spirit forward control plates and the brake line extension (mine’s a non-abs). I didn’t see anything from you on that install… did you run into any issues? It looks pretty straightforward. Thanks
I love the build. I’m kinda wanting the Corbin version of the seat.
Yeah I'd like to try it out to compare but not for an extra $400 or whatever it is.
@@Jimbobbington what’s the weight capacity of your current seat?
@@YoloVib3s I've never seen any recommended weight limit.
How do the blue color on the (Indian lines ) clutch cover. Thanks..
I'm not copying you I'm just uh ..following your lead!
About to throw on your same tires & levers/radical radius exhaust/and aftermarket shocks
Get some new breaks and oil change while I'm at it
Spring time here we come !
Awesome! The radical radius is badass!
💯👍
Hands down best looking bobber out there! The microns look great but their size worries me. Are they bright enough to be effective in day time? sucks route 66 isn't doing the bolt kits anymore though. Thankfully i ordered both the engine and body kits before they closed up shop.
Thank you Jeff! To be honest, most of my modifications came with a compromise of some sort. The Microns are definitely bright, but 100% the stock lights were more "visible".
Totally different styles of bikes obviously, but I have the microns on my 1290 superduke and 690 smcr, I've found them to be surprisingly bright and visible even in broad daylight. Obviously there are more visible indicators, but I'm super happy with them, they blend right in and look invisible when "off" and when "on" are pretty darn bright.
Are there mid controls available
Did you have to take the rear fender off to get the 180 to fit or would it have fit anyways 🤔 I just bought my scout bobber about a month ago put the aftermarket headlight, fox shocks, air intake need some new tires and wanted to go 180 🧐
You can totally keep the fender and run a 180, no problem
I'm 6 1", 250 pounds and love the Scout Bobber. However I also have a dodgy back, I took one for a ride last week and my back is only just recovering. I'm thinking of biting the bullet and ordering one anyway with extended foot controls, better suspension and a syndicate seat in the hope that this combination of mods will remove or significantly reduce the back pain. I think I'm being too optimistic, what do you think?
I have a scout rogue that came with the syndicate seat, the seat itself does not help with the ride in my opinion. it is better than the seats on the bobber but I think the biggest help would be a different rear suspension. The stock shocks/springs combo is way too stiff
Did you ever have issues with your commander 3 tire in the front ?? I just bought one to replace the front and I feel a buzz type vibration on smooth roads. Feels like I’m riding on a rough pebble road when cruising. 🤔
That's a negative. MCIIIs feel great front and rear!
Brother love ur Bike, quick ? What size wheel you have in the back, sorry if I missed it, thanks
Thank you! It's pretty quick for a mid size cruiser. 100hp at the wheel. Rear wheel is 16" with a 180 width tire.
Can I use the factory signals with your under seat light mount ?
They might work since the Microns were meant to install where the oem lights were
What air filter you running? And what tune? Thanks 😊
Arlen Ness Torque Box intake, custom dyno tune using PV3
Hey Jim
Swapping tires to the commander 3's
Just as a FYI you have a "cruiser" on the front on a "touring" on the rear
Any issues with mixing them?
Yeah I noticed that after they installed them lol. I've had no issues at all. I researched the difference and it seems the touring provides more milage while the cruise has better breaking ability. Seeing how the front is 80% off the stopping power and the rear wears way faster, seems like a good match honestly.
@Jimbobbington I went with the same set up.
My selling point was the biggest " cruiser" they make is a 150 and I was hell bent on getting the 180
I watched a few videos that mentioned the cruiser had more traction in went conditions due to the extra grooves it has
Bikes at the shop now getting tires brakes and oil changed
@@DucksDoQuack awesome!
I see you don't have the radiator hose gaurd. Kuryakyn also makes that. It's a must have.
Also, why doesn't anyone make rear aftermarket ABS brakes for the Scout Bobber? It's annoying that brembo makes front with abs.... but not rear abs brakes.... anyways... suggestions?
Yeah, I agree. I haven't really seen any rear ABS kits either.
The extended foot controls you got, any advice on choosing the right length? I am 6' and have an alex leather craft seat and looking to get a set of the extensions. Looking at the 80mm. Thoughts? I am looking at Free Spirits like I think you have and they have various sizes.
Most people 6'+ go with the 100mm. I'm about 5'11" and the 80mm were just right for me.
@@Jimbobbington also curious about the tank badge. Obviously they were custom made. Did you just apply them to the tank? Any special protectant over it? Considering something similar on my titanium metallic bobber 60.
@@HLXanthus they are just two layers of vinyl to look like a border around the lettering. Hit up Chad on Facebook and he can make them for you for like $30 or something like that

I saw in the comments for another video that the Vans grips were your favorite for comfort so just wondering why you haven't gone back to them?
The only issue I had with them is that they are so soft/rubbery that they actually wear down a bit over time. They were comfy, but nothing on my bike was really done with comfort in mind lol. I like the look of my motogadget grips better overall.
Where'd you get that key Indian chain from?
I think it was free at my local dealer
Hi, turning lights from combustion industries not available anymore? Thank machine has a nice alternative, but the finishing plate + turning lights will set you off a whopping $1000.. Any alternatives? Keep it up!
Looks like their website changed but they still sell the turn signals.
www.combustionindustries.com/product-page/micron-turn-signals-scout
As for the block off plate, believe me, I looked everywhere for something cheaper that was good quality, but there's not anything available that matches the fit and finish of tank machine that I could find.
Not sure if it's the same in US as it is in UK, but isn't the horn a must to pass its MOT?
We don't have regular inspections on motorcycles here. Only on cars for emissions purposes.
Do you have a video on your new drag bars and blinker light install?
Of course! Scroll through my channel. I've got drag bar install, drag bar review, turn signal installs, etc!
@@Jimbobbington I'll check again. I couldn't find the vids
Big bore kit with high compression and power mods now?
Haha that would be awesome, but God is not cheap. I also worry about reliability, and to be honest, the bobber is fast enough for now. Currently not doing much to the bike as I'm slowly building up a couple stage 1 cars at the moment lol.
Aside from the discontinued parts. Can you please link all your parts in the description? I know it’s a lot of ask but I really love your build!
Thank you! I totally plan on doing that but ran out of time and just wanted to get the video published. Check back after today!
@@Jimbobbington Awesome, thank you!
would like to hear the exhaust!
I've got over a hundred videos on my channel, and most of them I'm riding around with plenty of exhaust audio!
How about a quick shift mod?
I've actually thought about that... still thinking lol
Look at the Peak Design phone holder, much much better and smaller and flawless. Yes, I've had a Quad , Peak Design's is better imo. Try it and I PROMISE you'll like the look of it much better too. :)
Interesting, how have I never heard of this option before?
that rear coil's in turquoise maybe? congrats!
I almost went for Nitrons with turquoise springs!
I don't understand the bike community. I'm just getting into the biking world and after seeing quite a few modification showcases for bikes I'm interested in I'm noticing most people basically only bedazzle their bikes with trinkets and I'm so disappointed. Where's the original spirit of guys tinkering and tuning their bikes to go faster and handle better. The most I see is an exhaust swap with an occasional air filter change. Where's all the camshafts, efi tuning, custom built exhausts, intake mods, and everyone who liked to "slap a turbo on that bitch" or even people adding custom mounts for utility stuff. Has the biker communities spirit mostly died recently or something?
