Rest In Peace brother! Thoughts and prayers go out to the family. 😢
Thanks for the video. Can't find anything more beautiful that the Scout Line from Indian and the Bobber is on top of everything design wise.
I agree...the bobber is amazing and it only looks better as you mod it
Triumph bobber black for me
Very good, very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make this for us. I'm writing up my wish list for my future scout purchase, and I had no idea the air box was a concern, so I really do appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
Yessir, I am currently looking up the Tier One Tuner you mentioned as well. I pulled up their page, and sure enough, there was a scout on their front page, so I knew I was at the right place. I will probably go for that as well. I gotta tell you bro, this info you put out is waay more credible than any advertiser, as you don't have an agenda, you are just giving us the truth, and it is appreciated.
@@jamescook4u I loved mine. I only moved away to a PV3 tuner because I wanted to remove my RPM and Speed limits.
Great review. Yeah I love mine as well. This bike definitely gets a lot of looks and attention. Stay stay out in the hill country. I love riding out there.
Thanks, will do!
One of the first really positive reviews that I have seen of the Scout Bobber. Good news.
Lots of folks comment negativity on the comfort out off the gate ... but it is a bobber. You can easily address the comfort and it quickly turns into a nice and wasy ride.
dadwithabike we have a great local dealer, and I have tried the Scout, Scout Sixty and Scout Bobber. Now they have bought out the Sixty Bobber, which means I could save a significant amount over a standard Bobber, but use some of the difference on seat, shocks and bars. Win win.
You've made me choose an Indian scout as my next bike. Beautiful machine, with a brilliant sound. I'm not sure if the comfort issue carries over to the standard scout model but I'll keep it in mind.
I think you'll find the standard scout much more comfortable. Glad you liked the video!
I’m going to pick up mine Wednesday ! Can’t wait lol, I currently have performance 99 busa not good for stop and go traffic .
Good luck man. I love this bike...
Nice video, hope to own one of these soon! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Love me some Indian Motorcycles
dadwithabike, thank you for the great review of your really nice bike.
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video and gorgeous bike. I definitely want one now.
Glad you liked it. I'm still riding it, about 1.5 years and 17K miles :)
Good honest review. Excellent!
Thanks! I love the bike .. but it takes work to make it perfect
Got mine titanium upgraded rear shocks, seats, head light and install the wind deflector..just perfect
I put a set of supershox on my bobber that were for the regular scout, it raised the rear up about 3/4" which made the ride much more tolerable and made the front a bit 'lighter' to flick around.
Anyone getting a bobber that isn't used to scrapping pegs... find a roundabout in a low traffic area and scrape the shit out of your pegs over and over until it doesn't freak you out, it should be a very early warning to let you know how far you are leaning, not an "oh shit I have to stand the bike up" feeling... there's plenty of lean left after the pegs touch so don't be afraid to use it if you need it.
Yeah..totally agree with you on the scraping bit. I've been riding for years so when folks ask me about the bobber as a first bike, I quickly give them similar advice.
Great review! You’re spot on about the seat. Been riding the new Sixty Bobber for a little over a month now and I had to go with the Indian comfort seat and it made a world of difference. Also added the 2 into one Scout exhaust with the performance intake. Added close to 10% in HP or at least that’s what they advertise. Can definitely feel it. Question for you, how’s the view with the bar end down mirrors? Love the look with the even lower profile but I don’t want them if it hurts my view. Thanks again for the great view.
So, it's not awesome. I have to do some elbow-fu in order to see around me. But! I have just changed to Drag Bars from Dean Speed with ROX 2" Risers. I added some triangle bar-end mirrors that stick out directly on-level with the bars. The look is great, the comfort is fine enough for me.
@@dadwithabike thanks!
Awesome vid man. Thanks for putting it out. This bike caught my eye recently and I've become obsessed with it haha. Too bad about the stock comfort. Pretty much everyone that reviewed it or owns one says it's abysmal. Nice to know that your aftermarket mods have improved it though. Has your seat done enough, or are you thinking about swapping the rear shock?
I ended up doing both. The seat AND the Progressive 444s make the ride perfect!
@@dadwithabike good to know. thank you!
Great review...beautiful bike!!!!
Thanks!
Nice video, specially about having to add performance and comfort accessories. but it's a great looking bike
It really is!
I have 3 that I am looking to get right, a night rod special, breakout and now the ISB, I keep finding myself coming back to the bobber more often than the others. I like it!!
Dude, go check out some of my other videos. I do some mods to it and I wake this thing up with a tune, intake and a 2-into-1 exhaust. It's a bad, bad bike...
@@dadwithabike yeah, I’ve watched a lot of them here lately since NE Texas is an ice skating rink
@@Dashsdailydoses awesome ... yeah we'll be back out on the roads next week once it warms up again
Great video, by the way!
Glad you enjoyed it
those are gorgeous bikes...thinking about buying a 2020 scout bobber twenty (comes wild mini ape bars) but slightly concerned about overall comfort. Do like to do day trips or weekend trips. These bobbers seem more ideal for around town bikes. I def would change seat and maybe shocks, that plus price of bike...its getting up there with the $$$....nice review!
I love the Bobber, truly do and you can make it comfortable. I personally wasn't ready (or wanted) a bagger yet and that's why I grabbed the bobber. I have changed this bike a lot (seat, shocks, fairing, bars, etc) and now it's comfy and I have taken it on 600 mile rides. The best thing about it ... you'll be the fastest guy, the worst thing about it ... you need gas often (only 3.2 gallon tank).
Awesome review! In the market for my first cruiser, definitely in Iove with the look of the Scout.
What exactly did you do to get that Indian logo... Is it just a decal? paint job? Thanks in advance!
It's just a vinyl decal. I removed the block lettering and applied it. You'll love the scout class as a first cruiser since it gets you into a "cruiser" style while still giving you great performance.
Great review dude. I’m from Montreal Canada and I was about to buy a Thruxton RS (I know it’s a different style). But I am for sure switching gears to the Indian Bobber. You have mentioned that you changed the filter to gain HP. Did you buy it from the dealer because there is an option, or you bought from another maker? Thanks for the review.
I did not buy it from the dealer and instead went with a Trask Intake. I do all my own work, tuning, etc. on my bike so I'm a little picky about my mods :D
I agree about the seat. I did a ride review on one not too long ago. Overall, I really liked the bike. I would change the seat and the mirrors though.
Yup. The seat is a must!
yeah rea review! all ya need to know!
Thanks!
My left-ear approves. (Also, on another note, that's kind of the transition I'm planning too... going from CBR600RR to probably a supernaked next (MT09 or 900z)... then a crusier after haha)
Hah ... sorry for the mono this was like one of the first videos I ever did on this thing. My others get better - I promise!
I thought my headphones broke haha
Love the info.
Awesome, thanks
Im sold! I must have this bike, been binging on Indian scout bobbers all morning, now to find someone who sells them haha
Most fun bike I've ever owned.
Thanks for your review . I really like those bars . Did you have to extend the lines for that bar ?
No need
Those are actuall my favorite 8inch bars... going back and forth with he 4 or 8inch The 4inch might be to close to stock, dunno... Stay safe brother!!
Thanks man .... keep the rubber side down
Nice Bike! :) You are the only other person in the Austin area with a Bobber! I have the 19 Icon Series in Brass. It's unbelievable how many compliments this bike gets. You're pretty spot on with how I feel with this bike (I come from a FZ600, CB400, and an R1). Send me a message some time and we should take a ride. I've ridden Volente and Lime Creek a million times over the years, though not on this bike, strangely enough.
2019 Bobber, Icon Series
Corbin Seat, Freedom Radical Radius Exhaust, DynoJet PV3, Avon Cobra tires, FMJ bars, JW Speaker Adaptive 2 light......March 2019.......14,000 miles and counting.
P.S., if you haven't gotten replaced your factory tires, check out the Avon Cobra Chrome.
I think you are in my back yard. I'm headed to Sturgis next week so when I get back we'll have to grab a ride. I've modded my bobber quite a lot.
@@dadwithabike Liberty Hill :)
What handlebars did you use any certain brand. I like the look of those.
Very nice..I have a 2018 bobber..Really liking the look of those bars..do they work with the stock cables? Im not into the bigger apes but wouldnt mind a little less leaning over the tank like with the stock bars.
Yup - these work with the stock cable ... no problem!
Did you do a video on the tank War Bonnet install? I haven’t seen one.
Awesome review....note that the 100 hp is at the crankshaft. On the Dyno you will be pulling 75 ish hp (stock).
Yes, after all my performance mods I'm at 105 on the dyno
@@dadwithabike beautiful bike... did you get an aftermarket exhaust?
@@larjohnsonrfl6161 I did, I had V&H Slash Cut but now have a Two Brothers COMP S 2-into-1 full system
@@dadwithabike sexy!
Hi I bought a 2022 scout rogue. I’m finding the throttle over sensitive . Finding it hard to maintain constant speed specially in bumpy roads. Is this your experience also? Have you found a solution?
RIP John, and thanks for the vids mate.
Yeah mate, your bike looks badass.
Thanks - it's an always evolving project :-)
Congrats! Great work! If Indian would have made a better seat for the passenger, I would bought this bike yesterday. I can't find a comfortable seat for the passenger. If you could provide the links to the gear, It would be great it. Keep up the good work! Best,

How many miles to the tank does the bike get Cruising? Riding hard?
Great review by the way!
When I'm on it hard, high revs and really pushing - my light comes on at 100 miles. When I'm just out cruising it'll come on around 120.
I was going to ask if that's the Texas Hill Country but you answered that for me.
Yessir...
Great review. What do you use for a camera and mic?
I'm using a GoPro Hero Session 5 and the mic adapter for the GoPro. Off of that I use a mic from Purple Panda. I'm just getting into this and didn't want to spend a bunch so I went the "cheapest - yet best quality" route possible.
Sounds great, keep up the good work.
Yup !!! Buying one 😄😄😄
Awesome!
What are your concerns about going to Indian for service? I live in Round Rock, TX where there used to be a dealer who sold new Indians, but they have since stopped selling new ones and moved to Austin. The nearest dealer having new bikes are at least 40 miles away. By contrast, one can get a Honda or HD and there’s tons of places to get service and parts.
I'm a little bit of a gear head so I do all of my own service (except if there are recalls) on all the bikes I have ever owned. I have found that working on the bobber is really easy. So in short, I typically do not have concerns - but if one is not mechanically inclined or just doesn't want to do the work themselves, then I would definitely go with something that has more popularity in the town you live.
Is that a bobber twenty or did you put the headlight cowl on it? Bike looks incredible. I traded in my scout 60 for a challenger, and while I love the challenger, it big and heavy and I miss the scout for those short missions. Thinking about a bobber twenty, I think the regular scouts are ugly as well, the bobbers look awesome. I really like the bobber 20.
Nope, it's the 2019 Bobber - just made several modifications...and more mods keep coming.
Where’d you get that war bonnet? The exact idea I thought of doing but I want to do mine in flat black as a ghost decal
Got mine from some on the Indian Scout Bobber Facebook group.
If you upgraded the suspension
Which shocks would you go with.
Love your seat!! Is it way more comfortable? Cheers
Probably end up with K-Tech Bullit or Ohlins. There's a cheap set out there (Progressive 413) but it's not going to improve and will probably just change the geometry of the bike. So .. for now, I just swerve a lot :D
I went with the LEGEND REVO-A INDIAN SCOUT shocks. It’s like night and day
I just read down and seen that you did not have to extend the lines . Would you mind sharing exactly what bars those are . I want that same one . I really like the look 👍🏽
Yeah - these are 8" Vaulted from Twisted Choppers.
Where did you get the warbonnet at? Also is it a vinyl? I think a black version would really set off the tank on my red scout sixty
There is a member of the Indian Scout Bobber group on facebook that was making them. You can dig around a bit and find folks making them. This one in particular is an "etched-looking" vinyl - and I think you are right ... a black one would offset nicely on a red tank.
Like those bars. I'm short and my stock drag bars are too long of a reach. Where can I get your bars and did they come in black?
If you check out Twisted Chopper they offer them.
For tyres, look at Pirelli Night Dragons or Michelin Pilots - nice review, and great ride 👍🏽
The Night Dragons are nice, I ended up moving to Metzeler Cruisetec for tires...love em.
dadwithabike - niiiiice! good grip in the wet with the Metzelers?
Sorry just now getting back to you - but yes, they have fantastic grip in wet conditions
lmao I'm glad I was broke in college when the original scout came out. I have the Scout Bobber twenty, and I'm in love with it!
Awesome, it's a fun fun bike for sure.
R.I.P., dadwithabike.
Thanks dad
Absolutely!
Beautiful machine! What’s the name of the seat again ?? I’ve only heard so far of corbin seats to fix the confort issue of it
This is the Saddlemen Renegade LS Solo. You can look around and some will have it in Brown but most have it in Black. Here's a link to one version - www.saddlemen.com/2018-2019-indian-scout-bobber-renegade-solo-seat
Why the solo over saddlemen step up ?
What tune you go with?
Yeah I love the look of the Scout bobber it looks mean , I almost bought one,I ended up getting the Scout because of that 1 in more travel in the rear😁.
Yeah, to make the bobber "travel worthy" you'll spend $700+ on shocks alone
dadwithabike yeah I’m thinking 🤔 about upgrading my shocks as well , theses shocks are budget shocks , I’m thinking about getting Ktech lite or Ktech Bulits , did you upgrade your shocks ? If so what did you put on your Scout bobber?
I did upgrade and I went with the Progressive 444s. I wanted the Bullits from Ktech but no one had them. I did some research on the 444s and chose them - couldn't be happier.
@@dadwithabike surely they should do that as standard. Sounds like Indian going down the HD road making us buy kit that should be standard
I have a regular scout, trying to figure out hot to get a saddleman on it soon. curious where you acquired the headlight bezel? nice idea on the war bonnet decals, not fond of the block letters myself and have been tryng to think of a way to ditch them.
So this is the bobber, so the headlight cowl is part of the bobber. There's a few other ideas out there on the tank badging as well - some guys use the old school "Indian" script.
@@dadwithabike yea its all about making the bike your own, what works for you. keep up the good work.
Nice video and beautiful bike. I love the Indian motorcycles too. I just can’t afford one lol 😂. Don’t you find it underwhelming after being on a sport bike? I’ve been riding Harley’s my whole life and I recently bought a ninja because of the treacherous highways up here.
👍💯🤙
Not really the Indians Scout Bobber revs and pulls like a sport bike. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I threw a leg over my Indian.
Did you have to get longer brake and clutch wires for the new handlebars??
No, I didn't have to. These 8" were perfectly sized to not require new cables.
I just bought a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber Twenty in sage bush smoke as my 1st bike. I'll be switching out the exhaust to the ones you have. Just can't stand how it sounds lol. Other then that I love my 1st bike.
You will absolutely love this bike ... I promise that
Love the bars, are they stock?
No sir, these are 8" from Twisted Chopper. Best one's I could find that would fit the stock cables.
Great bike hate the seat though had to upgrade
As did I. I ended up going with a saddlemen and love it...
I’ve been a life long gsxr owner. My most recent bike was a Gsxr1000. How does it feel going from an R1 to the Bobber? I’m concerned it won’t feel powerful enough
It's not as fast .. of course and it's a vastly different ride. You can still haul on the bobber and it is fun to get out and ride. The note from the v-twin, it's high revs .. make it fun. This isn't my video but it's a good example of what a good rider can do no the scout platform. czcams.com/video/0hOH0cNTYAQ/video.html
I am a Japanese girl living in Scotland and as a former bosozoku girl I have always ridden bobbers.
I currently ride a 96ci Harley Street Bob (FXDB) with a full personal custom job.
However I have become increasingly disillusioned with Harley's build quality and innovation. So once lockdown is over I am buying a Yamaha XV1900.
I plan to do something along the lines of this custom job from Germany.
Although I would install shoulder high Z-bars with more of a pullback as I prefer a higher bar.
m.czcams.com/video/fmlsiQIOnFo/video.html
XV1900 is a beast!
I sold 96ci street bob that bike is not good ... all those sportsters and dynas shaking rubber chassis clown frame bikes crap. But now I have got softail slim. This bike have balanced engine proper frame no rubber Shit crap and low seat height and drive like dream compare to sportster dyne shit rubber shaking crap..
Do you have any pics ? Would love to see the FXDB!
I like the performance mods you made. Did you ever get it on a dyno? If so what was your figures?
I did, once I added the TBR exhaust and my Pv3 tuner I took it to get dyno'd. 105 HP @ 92 lb/ft torque. I wanted to record it but cameras were not having it. I plan on going back and doing it again and record it.
@@dadwithabike money well spent.
@@dadwithabike care to answer some questions? I'm considering the purchase of an Indian 60. I've read many reviews (good and bad) and one of the problems people commented about was the vibration at 70+ mph. What is your assessment? Was the vibration just in the bars or the whole bike? I had a sportster and it was unpleasant. I appreciate your time.
@@colemanhigley747 the bobber also had that same vibration but an upgrade to the handlebars and grips solved it for me. A lot of people spread false info about the 60 series on the scouts. Yes, they are only 5 gears but the gear that is missing is actually 5th. So you can get there quick, get into 5th (which is actually my 6th) and cruise comfortably.
Thanks for the review!, what are your thoughts on someone owning one of these, or the bobber 60 as their first bike after the MSF course?
Either are a fine bike and if you add ABS it's evwn better. The 60 is a bit more tame and ro be honest if they had the bobber 60 when i bought mine I probably would have done the bobber 60. The low seat height will be great for new riders.
I bough one right after msf course great first bike
scout bobber was first on road bike. No problems.
@@dadwithabike Any changes to the suspension for better clearance or different tires? I'm on the hunt for my first bike before I take MSF class. Great review!! Come on Texas!! 💪
@@slayer04031974 The change to suspension makes the ride better. There are guys that have fit a 180 tire to it (I have a video on that too). You can also spend some $$$ and get a 240 kit.
What were the kinks that they worked out ?
Why the 2019?
What did they change since the first few years of production?
Thx
Really not much as changed since the birth of the bobber. The engine is the same ... all are really the same - EXCEPT the introdution of ABS. As it goes, they already had a great bike because the sould of this is the scout ... they just made it look meaner.
how does it compare to a sport bike in power and torque?
Light to light it's amazing. Top end is 130 so it's not quite the same as a sport bike :) ... but the switch was worth it.
Where you get the Indian skull head I’m in San Antonio
Bought it off a fellow rider from the Indian Scout Bobber facebook group
What handlebars did you put on your bike they look wicked
These are Twisted Choppers Vaulted. I now have Dean Speed Titus bars
You can get mid controls for this bike if you dont like the feet and leg position out in front of you
On this bike I prefer them in front. Mid-controls would camp me. I do like the look of the RSD mids though
Bro whats your handlebar if you could share the link that would be awesome
Absolutely - 8" from Twisted Choppers - twistedchoppers.com/shop/vault-mitered-handlebars-for-indian-scout/
thoughts on the bobber vs the bobber twenty?
I actually like the Bobber Twenty better than mine....
Hey. Any work around to get a fuel gauge? So can see the range and how much gas in the tank instead of looking at the fuel light..
Just picked up mine yesterday. 2021 model scout bobber.
So, you could potentially add your own digital gauge ... you'd have to find out what the fuel sender ohm range is. I'm looking into this myself actually.
@@dadwithabike Nice. Let me know if you find anything. I would like to add some sort of gauge and know how much longer I can ride.. Thanks, your channel is awesome.
were you able to install the tuner on your own?
Yes I was, no problem just takes a little time.
Do you recommend this seat over Corbin seat ? Thanks
I have a Corbin and it's excellent.
Corbins are great. I just didn't want to spend 600 dollars. I would imagine the corbin is a bit more comfy
How do you solve the mud problem whenever you ride on a wet road this chopped rear bobber fender always make my back dirty dammit .
I actually have a license plate bracket that extends my fender out about 6 inches.
It was a stupid idea to install a side mount bracket
Is this a good first bike to own? I'm 6'2 190 Thanks!!
You may be on the tall side. I would go sit on one, test ride it and see if your legs fit.
What's up brother? Greetings from Houston, let's go riding!
Whenever I make it to Houston - absolutely
@@dadwithabike Right on man, and vice versa whenever I make it out that way. I'm new to TX and very curious about riding out your way and further West.
What's the MPG on that bike? Thank you.
Claimed is around 45 but the tank is 3.2 gallons and I fill up about every 100 miles
Where did you get your war bonnet?
This is from someone on the Facebook bobber group.
You’re up by wimberly? I’m down in Corpus. I envy the twistees y’all have up there. Bunch of straight aways down here.
I live close to Wimberly but these roads were actually out by La Grange. But yeah, I'm glad to be in hill country
@@dadwithabike awesome! That’s a beautiful area. Ive never been able to find the chicken shack though!!!
Any issues with scraping pegs ?
Yeah, it happens often but not a big deal.
Mono sound, like the bike, half of what it could be if it had decent suspension and mid pegs.
Yeah, fixed the mono sound - I think this was the first real video on my channel. I did end up doing A LOT to this bike. Seat, bars, shocks and more. I totally agree though.
Are those trask handlebars?
They aren't. They look like them but I got them from Twisted Choppers
R.I.P brother. Thank you for your channel
What happened?
@@joelgarcia5501 I believe he got into an accident and passed away. They uploaded a video of his memorial/funeral service. God bless and keep his family.
@@iam1in1 that's very sad. God bless his family l.
saddlemen solo or step up ?
It's the solo, specifically the Renegade LS
I feel like I'd want mini apes on it. Provided they negate that leaned over position. The Bobber 20 looks good, just not a fan of the spoked wheels.
Higher bars help a lot. I ride with 8" and they fit well and I'm no longer leaned over. ROX also makes risers that work really well with the bobber.
@@dadwithabike very nice. Appreciate it! Looking forward to upgrading ASAP.
@@dadwithabike where did you get your handle bars again? thanks!
@@antoniocanes2221 these were from Twisted Choppers
Did you sell the 8” bars?
No, I still have them on the bike. I'm contemplating a set of 10" from FMB but not sold on it yet
@@dadwithabike right on . I thought you were getting straight drag bars? Good thing you waiting until you’ve made up your mind completely! I’m putting the batwing fairing on my sixty and will probably go with 8 or 10s. Just trying to spread out the mods as to not deplete the bank account and get thrown out of the house by my beautiful wife
Is this west lake hills?
No, this is out just off of Bullick Hollow Road and Lime Creek Rd
Y'all think the ABS is worth the 1300 for a place like Texas (scout bobber 60)
I absolutely do. I live in Texas and have had to use it more than once with crazy drivers.
@@dadwithabikeok, not the answer I wanted but that solves that especially since down south it's all highway driving to go anywhere
y is the audio panned towards the left tho ????
One of my first videos and was an editing noob
@@dadwithabike regardless ... the review was on point i must say
Is scraping the pegs dangerous? It sounds dangerous
No, it's just telling you that you have hit the bike's recommended limit - so it's fine.
What handle bar is that ? is it stock or after market ?
This is an aftermarket one, it's the 8" Vaulted Mitre from Twisted Choppers
@@dadwithabike great review. I love my bobber 60 ABS..I am gonna get me that seat and the handle bar.. any pointers
@@dkeyyablo11 both are easy to put on. You'll love it
@@dadwithabike thanks for all replies .. how do you like that windshield, who makes that ?
@@dkeyyablo11 the windshield I use now is from Memphis Shades. It's the road warrior. I love it
Miss you @dadwithabike
RIP my brother
My left ear is getting all the love
Haha, sorry this is an older video before I got my audio squared away.
Whats your length man? Looking into this bike but i'm 6,2.
I'm right at 5'10". There are several members on the Indian Scout Bobber forum that are 6'2"+ and they all have used the extended reach modification. But - this is still a small bike in form (crazy fast and powerful) - just small.
@@dadwithabike Alright, cool cool. Gonna check out the dealership nearby and see if I can make a testride and what they can offer on mods. Cheers
@@dadwithabike what about shorter riders I’m 5ft6 with 29 inside leg .
@@carolsaxton839 it would fit well. The seat height is nice and low.
is this a good first bike?
It can be. It's ride height is small, easy to maneuver but if this is a first bike it will get dropped. The bike is a bit costly and dropping it would make me cry. Personally, I'd buy something else - used and I didn't mind dropping until I was able to truly handle a bike.
@@dadwithabike along these lines what would you recommend as a good used starter bike? Vulcan S used and then upgrade to an Indian?
This is an awesome bike but holy cow they're expensive. The cheapest I could find was 13k. Heck i could pick up an Iron 1200 for cheaper.
The used market is pretty good for the scout and scout bobber. If you had that scout you'd leave the Iron 1200 sitting at the line crying :-)
they need to be able to lean. I wish HD and Indian would do something about it
Yeah, their lean angle is meh with me coming from sport bikes; however, I've learned to actually love it. There's something awesome about hearing the sound of the peg scraping that says ... yup, I'm riding it right..
@@dadwithabike a Honda goldwing has more lean angle. Outrageous
