Ive been following you since I bought my Scout 60 bobber a year ago. I just watched this compilation of all your upgrades. I was happy to see you have the same seat on yours, the Jarod Mees. I love mine. I did a little more for the installation, I bought a seat mount for the back part of the seat, so it slides into the back mount (like on the scout) and then you fasten the front. It did require some careful measuring, drilling a hole in the rear fender and using a nut-sert, but I figured that part is always going to be covered even if I take the seat off in the future. Keep up the work, I love following your posts and upgrades.
Awesome, thanks! Yeah the Jared Mees seat is nice. Sadly, mine was vandalized and I had to get a new seat and ended up with the Syndicate from Indian. It's pretty dang nice ... but I loved the look of my Jared Mees.
Much awaited video is finally out.. As always, brilliant content and your channel has been a blessing to the bobber community. The bike looks so darn good brother. Thank you so much for everything you do and wish you a million subscribers soon!
you are an inspiration. i love and enjoy your channel. at almost 60 years old, i bought my first indian scout bobber. i will try to send you some pictures or videos of it via twitter. i am excited and tickled to death with it. thank you!
I love this video. I love your mods. I still see the silver screws on the engine case. I have caps for sale for $50 + shipping available if you're interested. They're flat flack and look amazing
Can’t make my mind up between your fairing and the Indian fairing,, love your seat , most definitely getting that. Fell in love with it,, 👍 kinda wish I had two of the same bike so I can make them two different set ups..
This is all really fantastic stuff! Great inspiration for my own bobber build. I am really interested in that air filter, tuner device, and cruise control especially! Did you install those pieces yourself? Or have a shop do it?
Thanks so much! It’s been 20 years since I have owned a motorcycle. My last one was a Honda Magna 750 with V4 engine. Been looking at the Bobber Twenty for my next ride. Hope to get one soon! Your videos are helpful with all the different things you can add.
Thank you for running through everything! I've actually used your videos in the past to gauge the improvements I am performing for my Scout Bobber 20. The 2-Into-1 Exhaust + High Flow Air Filter are amazing for performance increase. Mine makes 90 HP and 67 ft•lbs of torque without the PV3 but soon as you said you make 100+ HP and about 90 ft•lbs of torque I hopped on revzilla and ordered me one! Haha Anyway keep on living life man and enjoy your awesome Bobber! 👍
Hey Army dawg!! Love the channel. Your vid’s helped me pic the Indian Scout Bobber. I picked it up a few days ago. Keep it up! One question, where did you get the license plate holder!?? I want to move mine. I really like the way it looks as it adds to the bobber style, but man I smack my leg on it!
Go Army babeh! That's awesome to hear that I swung you over to the bobber, it's a bad ass bike for certain. The license plate holder was custom made ... BUT ... I think you can find something like it on amazon.
I cant decide on this scout bobber or stepping up to the Harley street Bob. I LOVE the looks of the scout but wondering if Id wish I got the street bob for any reason. Most my riding will be in town with an occasional ride from Phoenix to Sedona which is only about 100 miles. Thats probably the longest trip it would go on
@@TimKollat Thanks! The thing I like about the scout is that it is high revving. If I were to choose one over the other, the scout would win every time.
So I "think" it would fit. The quick release for me is set to the closest setting and you have 5 more notches in the fork mount to grow on the fairing.
I have a question Sir, I installed the Memphis Shades Cafe Fairing on my Bobber and was wondering what You did/used to cover all the wiring that the Cowl Used to cover ? Thanks in advance and look forward to more videos/informative information 👍
I use a handlebar bag to sit on top. Specifically I use the Burly Brand bag and it just sits over top to hide / and protect them a bit. The headlight wiring harnesses are all water proof so as long as they aren't in direct striking water the'll stay good, clean and well connected.
Happy holidays. I just installed the same fairing on my 21 bobber and I noticed that your head light protrude out a little. My head light is recessed about 1in. I am 100% sure that I order the correct headlight extension.? Did you do anything different to get it to sit out the way you have it. I like that look better.
I'm sure you ordered the correct stuff. The grommets are adjustable where the fairing sits on the clamp grommets. Those can be pushed out or in about an inch or so. That's all I do.
@@fishballx8 No, they are a direct swap. Mine did not come with pins so make sure to use your stock ones. It's also a good time to replace the pig tail pin with a pinch pin on the retaining bolts
Nice vid, love the build. I just got rid of my 06 R6. And wanting to get a Indian Scout bobber. Question regarding the mustang Jared seats. How’s it ride and feel for the passenger?
My daughter is okay on it for about 30 minutes, after that she doesn't like it. If you are going to do passenger a lot I would look at a corbin with a corbin pilion seat.
@@dadwithabike you mentioned in a previous video that your daughter wanted to start riding, and that you were going to start riding with her on the back. Does she have any complaints about the Mustang seat? If that’s asking too personal a question I understand. In either case I think it’s fantastic she wants to ride and good luck to her.
@@MrJoeylap as long as we keep it under 30 minutes she's fine. Much longer and she hated it. If I were doing true, long 2up riding I'd need a different bike.
@@dadwithabike Understandable! I don't think you'd have that issue with what they have. If I'm honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Kuryakyn in general, but that cover is a slick little piece. Zero regrets on mine 🍻🤙
@@dadwithabike all I have so far for my 21 Bobber is a windscreen from Indian and the license plate relocation kit done. Still have lots of plans, but all boils down to cash at this point. I've saved all your videos for idea's! Keep em commin and ride safe.
Beautiful bike! The twisted chopper vaulted handlebars look sick! Do they have more sweepback than the stock drag bars? And did you need to replace the stock clutch and break cables and wiring to fit them?
You still rocking those twisted chopper bars? I have been researching and those seem to be a great compromise of performance, comfort and ease of install. We’re they pretty easy to install with standard cables? Any regrets? I’m 5-10. Thanks in advance
I actually just moved to 8" Titus bars from Dean Speed. Sadly, my vaulted started to have a weld fail. I still went for 8" but I think I like these Dean Speed more. Stock cables work just fine, but I upgraded my clutch cable to a Barnet cable
@@dadwithabike whoa. Weld fail on handlebars is NOT GOOD. dean speed website is saying like 8 week lead time did you experience that? That’s the primary reason I am looking at others.
@@briandrake496 Yeah, it was exactly 8 weeks. I "kinda" saw the failure coming and got ahead of it so I got them in time to not miss any riding. Sadly, most custom places are about that long. You may get better response from FMB Chopper Parts but they just didn't have the bars I wanted.
@@dadwithabike haha dean speed is here in AZ, and when I went to pick up some stuff from them, they told me that they had an influx of orders for crash bars after my video 🤣 but they are worth the money that's for sure
I have ridden the scout and it's more comfortable out of the gate than the bobber. In hindsight I probably would have been better suited for the scout based on the changed I've made
Sometimes the baffle is in, sometimes it isn't. If I'm going on a ride with my club I'll throw the baffle in .... no one wants to ride next to me when it's not baffled - lol
I'm getting ready for a week long trip on my bobber, your videos have been super helpful!
Have fun, take pictures and share. We need more people pushing their bobbers 😉
Good video. Nice info on price/workability. Good work with hands. Thank you.

What a great video, thanks for sharing!!
Please keep us updated!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together, showcases many good options!!
Great video man, and beautiful build 🔥
I love this video. I love your mods. I still see the silver screws on the engine case. I have caps for sale for $50 + shipping available if you're interested. They're flat flack and look amazing
This bike is gorgeous. I love the road warrior, the colour and the windscreen! Well done fellow dad!
Great build. I have a '21 scout. I'm really digging ur mirrors. 😁
Thanks! Hope you enjoy that scout
Bike looks awesome you definitely gave me good ideas for my own scout bobber. Thanks for the video
Glad it was helpful ride safe
Hands down nicest scout hat ive seen
Wow, thanks - appreciate it!
Definitely maybe, I remember your first vids lol 😂 lots has changed, and changed again.
Hah, so true it's always changing
Great run down of your mods.
Thanks 👍
Amazing mod video - thank you so much!
Can’t make my mind up between your fairing and the Indian fairing,, love your seat , most definitely getting that. Fell in love with it,, 👍 kinda wish I had two of the same bike so I can make them two different set ups..
Haha, I actually have two seats and two fairings depending on how I feel. Only reason I didn't go with the Indian fairing is the cost
I miss DWAB already.
This is all really fantastic stuff! Great inspiration for my own bobber build. I am really interested in that air filter, tuner device, and cruise control especially! Did you install those pieces yourself? Or have a shop do it?

Do you have a video on how to install the eagle lights halo headlight? Just ordered from this video and want to be ready when it comes in! Thank you!
Sadly I don't, but it isn't hard. When you get it reach out to me on Instagram and I can walk you through it. @dadwithabike
What license plate relocation kit is that? It looks great!
How did you get the mirrors on top? My bike is 2019 and I only have access to bar end mirrors.
There are openings on top to put bar mount mirrors
Nice bike - thx for sharing!

Awesome - just the base tune alone will be great but if you get it professionally tuned it'll be even more amazing
Did you need to modify the seat hooks or does it fit as it comes from the factory. I understand that the back of the seat does not move?
I have the Paco swing arm bag and the Circle tool bag from Ends Cuoio. Italian Leather man, can't beat it.
Amigo me podrías explicar como desconectar el sensor de oxigeno debajo del asiento de una scout 2021?
Beautiful bike and i too miss DWAB
Did you happen to notice how much, if any, the 11.5 inch shock raised the rear fender?
Only a tad
Did you need an adapter harness for the halo light?
I looked up the 44 suspension but it says Harley do it also fit the scout?
I get a lot of buffeting with the road warrior 13' vented windshield at 5'10". But I do love the fairing. looks great.
Hrm, I ride with the 11 vented and the 15 for long trips. I only get slight buffeting on the 11 but nothing on the 15.
@@dadwithabike I'm trying 15 next. Buffeting is real bad with current set up, but not as bad as nothing lol.
Love this video!! Any information on your phone mount?
I use the quad lock with the dampening mount

This is a universal tank pad from tech spec.
Great video!!
Thanks!
What license plate bracket?
What's the difference between the 11 and the 11.5 suspension? 🤔
The 11.5 raises the rear end some. I wanted that because I load it often when I travel. 11 is standard size.
What bracket do you use for the license plate relocation?
I actually had a local shop make it ... but I think there's one out there on the market simiarly.
How is the Oil change with the exhaust? The filling part in particular
Easy and no problem, I use an oil funnel and it's no biggie.
Where did you get the gas tank pad
The guy is dead. Apparently he was in a solo accident on his bike and died. RIP.
Thanks for all you do! Question, what size are the thumb nuts for the bag bracket to cover the bolts?
They are M8 thumb screws. Here's the ones I have - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WMQ4SMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does the road warrior shades help on the highway ?
Absolutely, even the cafe fairing helps a lot on the highway.
@@dadwithabike thanks for the info !

Most my riding will be in town with an occasional ride from Phoenix to Sedona which is only about 100 miles. Thats probably the longest trip it would go on
Both are great bikes. But power delivery is in two different places.
@@dadwithabike my riding style I think I'd have much more fun on the scout...love your vids probably best on utube for the scout
@@TimKollat Thanks! The thing I like about the scout is that it is high revving. If I were to choose one over the other, the scout would win every time.
I think your Bobber has a 41 mm fork. Does the quick release on the fairing have enough space to fit on a 43 mm fork?
So I "think" it would fit. The quick release for me is set to the closest setting and you have 5 more notches in the fork mount to grow on the fairing.

No sir, just regular. My weight and gear weight didn't warrant the HD ones.
