Nick, thanks for the video, it gave me the confidence to do the forks on my 2016 Sixty as well. I upgraded to the Progressive brand springs as you did. I wanted to share some lessons that I learned. Firstly, the factory springs I took out of my 2016 are a progressive design. This really confused me because I had the understanding that the factory springs on the 2016 Scout 60 were not progressive. I'm in Canada, so maybe our bikes had a different spec for these springs. Secondly, I did notice that the Progressive brand springs are definitely a heavier gauge spring, and the tighter wound section of the springs were more tightly wound on the progressive springs than the factory ones.h The Progressive brand springs were also several millimeters longer than the factory ones. Next, I wanted to share that I drained my forks for about 30 minutes to ensure they were fully drained, I drained about 300ml of dirty fluid out. I then flushed them with some clean ATF fluid to get the extra crud out, and I'm glad I did. The ATF fluid started the typical clear red, and it was black and cloudy when I drained it out to flush the forks. There was a lot of crud in the forks that I was able to clean out by flushing the forks and forcing the clean ATF fluid through the system by compressing and extending the forks to move the flushing fluid around. I also wanted to mention that I added a total of 290ml of clean 20wt fork fluid in each fork to get the air gap to 140mm. This may differ for other forks, but that was what I found worked on my 16 Scout Sixty. After installing the springs, I noticed that the front suspension is definitely stiffer, I don't think I will bottom out on big bumps anymore. Thanks again for the video Nick.

Do you think mirror extenders would give you sufficient swivel to get the mirrors to stay in the right place? I had some installed simply because I could not see past my own shoulders. Alternatively, what about bar-end mirrors?

Congratulations on the new bike Nick. Looks great 👏

Great Job! Did you moved the right side assembly with rear break pedal?

Sound like a good day 👍

100%. Getting a nice meal during/after a long ride just hits different

Glad you're enjoying the new bike! That's a wonderful thing, isn't it?

glad the new bike is working out.

I'm glad you are enjoying the new bike. That blue is unique to all the motovlogs I watch. Good stuff!!!

👍👍 that’s a nice bike. Catch you later, brother.

I'm 5'8", got my Rogue, and lookin to have the road warrior. So u say 11 is better than 13. Thanx

🤔Sure in coming riding season with bigger bike you&wife will have many riding adventures .👍🙏

Nothing like enjoying a new bike on long ride to really get a feel for it, hey thanks for sharing your joy with us 🤙🏽

It's really good to hear how much you're enjoying the new bike. I hope you and Ashley have many amazing adventures on it. Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m south east😊 Like to find an InDian. dealership. Never looked for one

Oh wow nice bike. ❤😊

Hey Nick. Great video. What dealership did you go to ?

9:30 you looked right at my holler :)

way to much tech on everything at this point. I just want normal keys again. I can't even change the radio in my car without a software update..

The pin on the Pan America only gives you seconds to enter it prior to it going away. Not a fun option. I like how the Indian seems to give you a little time. Good stuff.

😎👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You didn’t tell us your new Pin#. 😃👍👍

Set the pin immediatly. My 23 cheiftain DH key stopped working twice. Both times I got a new key under warrentee but without that Code I would have been majorly stranded twice. Dealer wrote my master code in my handbook and I switched it before I left the dealership. If you think you are the kinda person that never forgets their key so you don't need to know it. know that keys can fail.

good deal like how indain put on the screen whole lot easier then Harley left right up down BS LOL

Yep, the PIN is needed. Glad I have a spare key, but I think I know my Harley's PIN too. I like having keyless ignition - the key just stays in my pocket all day. Follow-up question: Does the Indian have an on-screen "low battery" alert? My Harley warns me when the key fob battery gets low, so I know to change it ASAP to prevent needing the PIN.

Right information nick. I’ve hat to use my pin 2 times I think.

Some really good information for folks on this one, Nick. Great job!

Good video. Love the color of your Indian. And your garage is set up very nicely. I bought my first Indian from the Dulles dealership. My understanding on my Indians is that there is a Master Pin and a User Pin. The dealer is supposed to write the master pin in the owner's manual. When I bought one of mine used I did not know the user pin or master pin. The other I bought used came with the Owners Manual and had the Master Pin in it. I received some "fake news" that supposedly the Master Pin would be either written under the seat or around the fuse box or something. I found it nowhere on the bike. Entering the PIN on my Super Chief Limited with the Ride Command is simple, just like yours. Entering the PIN on my Springfield (no Ride Command) is a royal pain and I would not rely on it. I find it very odd to do it and it takes me repeated attempts to get it to go through.

I'm lost. My Honda Shadow doesn't have a touch screen. Is it under the seat? 😉

Thinks Nick

what the dealer charger you to read the pin?

Any excuse to ride is a good excuse!!!

I think I prefer to just have a key, and a spare!!!

Hello Nick, playing catch up. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

I hate feeling rushed! I always left for work 30 minutes earlier than I needed to, even in the cage, just so I wouldn’t get rushed….

I like to take my time to get out on the bike, but if someone calls at the last minute, I can get going pretty quickly. All of my gear, riding and camera, is kept very close to the bike.

When I had to be to work, I always got up 30 minutes earlier than if I was driving. Gearing up, and wanting to take it easy on the bike always added time to the commute.

I like that bike!!

The Scout will make you feel like you’re on a sport bike after riding the big dresser. 😎👍🇺🇸

"This bike used to feel heavy" - Funny how that works, isn't it? I felt the same way, hopping off my Street Glide and riding my Vulcan 800 again. Heck, my KZ650SR weighed about the same as my Vulcan 800, but felt like a completely different bike. I rode all 3 in one day... it was... interesting, to say the least. Good video, Nick!

it is weird switching bikes isn't it. The short time I had both the spyder and the ryker it felt weird.

Good one Nick

Ha...I recently experienced the same having been riding on my Springfield for a bit and then dropping back to my Super Chief Limited.

I rode a scout several years ago, I loved it. Are you in Roanoke or somewhere there, I see the mtns in the background.

I’d love to have several different bikes in my garage for different rides,a smaller bike to ride around town and knock about a big cruiser to get across country and a sporty bike to hot rod every now and then, but with that comes money 💰

So now your suffering for the multi bike blues. lol

I have a 21 Vintage Dark Horse and a 24 Bobber, I find myself riding the Bobber more but when I get back in the Vintage the ride is so great.

I dont like to be rushed either. Yeah, you got to add more time when you take the bike

i always try to give myself time to get places so I can enjoy the ride. average speed in mass on the highway is like 85-90 mph. so good luck if you want to go 65 around here.

Great topic. I generally have to give myself an extra 20 min to get ready, otherwise I never get out when I want to. That never happens when I'm in the car. Glad I am not the only one. The bike is sounding great!
