Many thanks to Lee G. for letting me borrow the bike for this review and deciding to add those mods .

I'M NOT A MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC NOR AN ADVENTURE RIDING INSTRUCTOR, TAKE EVERYTHING I SAY WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, I'M JUST AN ENTHUSIAST SO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT PROCEDURES AND SPECIFICATIONS.

Sup Peeps! This is Lee. Albe is doing an amazing job on this bike. It a blast watching him work. I wish he would keep more of the out-takes. Dude is hilarious! Thanks for everything Albe!!!!!!
Thanks Lee
I usually don't waste my time listening to people who English isn't their first language, but I must say your English was very Pleasant to listen to. I wish I could speak Italian.
Thanks Mark 😀👍
Nice vid. Looking forward to see what you change on the bike.
The bar end mirrors look and work better when positioned under the bars instead of on top. That way you don’t just see your arms in them.
You said "reckon" with an Italian accent. Nice! Thanks for the review!
Lol, I’ve been watching too much BBC America...
looks amazing
Very good review. Thanks.
Great video
Fantastic review and I agree with you on the sitting position that puts a strain on the lower back, possibly due to the fact that your legs are extended and raised. The Harley fat bob has a similar seating position and I felt it to be provoking my lumbar. Excited to see the customization especially, on that hideous exhaust!
Yes, lol, the exhaust is going to be great.
It is a really good bike. The reaction is good in Korea. I'm on Scout Barber.
I liked it, look for the exhaust, air filter and power commander videos I'm pushing in the next few weeks
Koreans do cut hair good
“Curse of the Dragon” LMAO
Best video ive seen
Funny, I use my front brake on my Scout very effectively.
funny you don't drive "spirited"
@@illduitmyself What are you trying to say? It isn't clear with your statement.
Agreed, I have an ‘18 bobber and was always taught that it’s 70% rear 30% front and 8,000 miles later I’m still braking just fine.
@@WxMcGee66 that makes absolutely no sense, when you brake you are slowing down, when you slow down the weight of the bike is thrown forwards and therefore,the front tyre has the most grip,and the rear has the least. By braking with the rear first you are seriously impacting how quickly you can stop, it should be the complete opposite of what you’re doing. 70% front (the weight shifts forwards and the forks under load now push the tyre harder into the ground and makes you stop even harder, you then add the rear in as the weight distribution starts to relax and more weight gets added to the back again (this happens as you slow,down after the initial lurch forwards).
Every time I’ve heard people braking with the rear more than the front I feel like they’ve been taught to brake by people who are afraid of flying over the handlebars. In slow movement dragging the rear brake it super valid though!
Hey Albe! Nice review! Very accurate assessment of the Bobber. I've been meaning to make mine a little sportier starting with better suspension because some of those highway speed bumps lift me right off the seat or shatter my tail bone.
Is it a waste to get a pair of those Progressive Suspension 970 Series or Ohlins STX36 Twin Rear piggyback shocks?
I'm trying not to mess with the bike's handling stability too much. I just want a little bit more lean angle/ground clearance and reliable suspension so tight cornering at speed isn't so sketchy.
Hi Enrique, truth is ohlins is always a great choice, if you can afford it, that is the way to go. I believe that changing the springs or shocks to make the bike more complient is ok, but raising lowering or in general changing the motorcycle geometry it's usually not a good idea. So, progressive springs, good, ohlins suspension components, even better 👍
I'm not very good at recognizing accents, but I think you sound Italian. I love your accent, whatever it is.
Bingo, it is Italian indeed
I didn’t know Borat did reviews. Good review though
Very nice, lol
Hey Albe! Thanks for the review. I really enjoyed it! I am considering buying this bike come Spring. Please tell me how tall you are. I am a pretty tall guy and I'm worried this bike might be too small for me.
Hi Matt, I’m 6’2” or 186cm and I fit on the bike very comfortably
@@AlbesADV Thanks for the quick reply Albe! I'm 193cm so I guess it won't make much difference.
Just subbed! very nice review of the bobber.. looks fantastic, i am thinking of test riding this beautiful piece of machinery soon. Love the way it looks but i have to see how she handles for my self.. as for the lower back problem wouldn't changing the saddle help with that? by the way I'm curious to know how tall you are.. I'm 6' 2" and although I have never sat on the bobber I feel I might be a little tall for it? looking forward to your reply and future videos :)
Welcome to the channel, I agree with, the bike looks fantastic, I just installed an aftermarket exhaust on it and it looks even better, video coming out soon. I'm 6'2" as well, I believe it's not the seat but the riding position, you are folded over pretty good, but we all have to compromise, the owner loves it and it wouldn't change it for anything even if it means to have to go get a lower back massage after every ride.
@@AlbesADV thank you for the quick reply! Very cool! I will be looking forward to the video of the exhaust! 😎
It would be foolish not to replace the seat in an attempt to eliminate lower back pain.
Nice video, do you think I can install 300mm rear tire in it.
Sorry, I'm not sure
Did they fix the rear shocks that sucked on my 2016 and front shocks that sucked too?
I don't think so, but some people like it the way it is
@@AlbesADV LOVE THE BIKE OVER ALL BUT I DID REAR AND FRONT SUSPENSION AND NOW IT'S A MUCH BETTER BIKE,RIDE,AND A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE TO RIDE.PERFORMANCE OVER ALL BETTER. UPGRADED CLUTCH CABLE IS GOOD PERFORMANCE UPGRADE,BETTER BRAKE PADS VERY HELPFUL. IVE HAD BIKE HEAVILY MODIFIED ( MOTOR)165 HP/145 TORQUE/WEIGHT 460 LBS.ITS A BEAST.
Your review was very good while you were along with the motorcycle. The thing is that has been very boring these new videos and reviews while ridding... what we want to know and see i suppose is the motorcycle it self, not the street.
I agree, I wish I had a cameraman, unfortunately I do everything myself so it's difficult to get action shots of the bike. Hopefully as the channel gains traction I can find someone to be my cameraman for those shots. Thank you so much for the input. 👍
Wow. Thank you, great feedback 👍
I agree on all accounts
Is that rack from Indian ?
Yes 👍
Ciao bellissimo video.....moto fantastica....grande motore ma secondo te e una scelta giusta anche come moto turistica o e più una moto da "bar"diciamo qui in Italia....cioè solo da giretto domenicale ...mi piacerebbe sapere la tua opinione...tanks cool bike🤙🤙🤙👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏
Non è molto comoda per lunghi viaggi, ma tutto dipende dall'età e da quanta passione hai. La Scout è una gran bella moto, e io sarei pronto a sopportare un po' di disagio e mal di schiena per un giorno o due, ma alle lunghe mi sa che finirei per usarla come moto da Bar....cappuccino, cornetto...scusa, mi sono appena svegliato, 😁
@@AlbesADV 😂🤣🤣buon cappuccino allora....🤙🤙
Bro. What is your height ?
6'2"
How tall are you?
6'2" or 186cm
How tall are you my friend?
6feet 2inches or 186cm
No, I'm neither too stretched nor too cramped, it felt spot on for a bobber 👍
The Indian scout is sex on wheels
Please don't spread that kind of crab about those brakes. At that bike the front brake is still the main stopper.
