Excellent review. Covered pretty much all the questions I had in mind. I'm considering a 2025 Bobber in red. I've been riding a 2023 Triumph SpeedTwin 900 for the past 12,500 miles. Some of the first things I did when I got her was to put on Fox reservoir shox and swap out the seat because I felt the bike was just too soft....like riding a couch which after about 45-60 minutes became really uncomfortable plus I want to improve handling. Really glad you addressed these Indian shocks vs the Fox as well as exactly how they affected ride. Did you find with the extra 1" that you scraped pegs less? How about steering since the fork rake should be steeper with these on. Do these quicken steering or tip in noticeably? Thank mate.
just did three 1,000km+ two day trips on my 22 Scout with standard suspension and a mother road customs spring seat (5" springs). Which was more about distance on it than its capacity to handle a bad road. What I found was the combination of the seat springs and oem rear suspension soaked up nearly everything (bottomed out on the concrete sections of the Hume a couple of times). Which was quite acceptable, given the standard suspension previously bottomed out daily in the local area. The problem I found I was dealing with was the seat was too hard. Ended up adding a gel pad and a sheepskin over the top, so will need more testing. May head towards QLD later in the year and consider doing the springs then. did you get those from the US or Aus, is there a link to them?

Awesome! 👏
Love the rogues, I nearly bought one but I love the fat front tire on the bobbers too much 😎🙌
I’ve got the Fox on my scout twenty. They are much better than the stock but I wish I got these
Good review.
Fox are still great suspension but if your not enjoying them maybe it’s worth the change 🙌
Thanks for watching
Why is it called "EightyFive" the ride?
Hey 😁
If you check out S2 Ep1 at 8:02 I talk about where EightyFive TheRide originated from 👍
Thanks 😊

I freaked out when you went off road 😳🤯
Great job man 👍
Haha nothing to extreme 😜🙌
Thanks for watching mate!
How does your front end react to those pot holes ?
Fine 👍 never had any dramas with the front. Plus the big tires on the scout help 🙌

Deleting your tail in near future?
I like the look but I put a passenger on the back too often 🙌
@@EightyFiveTheRide I want to know, is it safe to travel from Brisbane to Sydney on bike?
@Jet21887 If you are comfortable enough on the bike, it can definitely make the trip 👍
