- In this video i review the Indian Comfort Seat for the Scout Bobber and Scout Bobber Twenty motorcycle. It was time for an upgrade since the stock seat was extremely uncomfortable and i must say the Comfort Seat surpassed my expectations. (My first youtube video!)

Great Vid.. was waiting 4 sm1 to review that seat.. thanks.. Waiting on ur nx vid on the 1920 seat. And is it the exact color brown that matches the Pillion ? thanks
Yes the color is the same. I was thinking of uploading the 1920 solo saddle next weekend and reviewing the Roland Sands Track slip-ons this weekend (I may change the order of that from this comment). Either way thanks for the comment and keep riding!
@@cmosadvantage5903 Sorry for the long winded questions.. I hv a dep on the Burnish Twenty now & looking over seats, I assume ur came with the "floating" seat? if so, how was it riding that? The dealer was changing floating to original brown bobber seat in my case. Then looking at difference between Boober vs Twenty, its ONLY the seat, Bars (10") & heat shields (chrome/blk) SO why pay the additional $1,000 if changing seat anyway? What are ur thoughts sine I'm kinda doing same thing u are...
@@damions7771 Yeah my bike came with the 1920 solo saddle seat (floating seat). For the twenty your'e pretty much paying for what you mentioned above including the floating seat and the Indian head logo on the paint. The floating seat is more comfortable than the stock seat and gets a lot of compliments but if the bike comes installed with it you will have to go back and get parts and won't be able to mount any aftermarket seats. If i could redo my purchase i would have negotiated the comfort seat and parts (the latch bolt for front of stock and comfort seat) and still keep the floating seat for the cool factor. You can pretty much build the same bike with the non twenty version without the paint job for a little less depending how you negotiate the install fees.
In addition to my last comment i intend to switch between the saddle seat and the comfort seat depending on ride distance. The twenty was worth it for because i liked the paint job but there really isn't any other benefit with getting the twenty version.
Excellent video! I agree 100%. I sat on the OEM seat for 20 minutes while talking to the salesman, and my butt was getting sore from just that. I bought the comfort seat before purchasing the bike, and it was one of the best moves I ever made.
It seems that our experience was somewhat the same, but with a different solution. After reading the many reviews for the Indian Scout Bobber, I bought the “comfort seat” the day I purchased the bike. So I had no reference for the stock seat, until I later switched them out for comparison.
My goodness, that stock seat could double as a medieval torture device. It was awful in every way, but the $250 comfort seat was only moderately better. After 30 minutes the stock seat was killing me. But it only took 45-50 minutes for the comfort seat to bring on almost the same level of pain.
After watching and reading many reviews, I bit the bullet and ordered a Corbin. I loved that I could order the color and stitching I wanted, but I was really looking for ALL DAY comfort.
I must say that I feel like I actually got my money’s worth. Indian should run over to Holister, California and watch the way these seats are designed and constructed. They’re actually shaped to mirror the shape of a human’s butt, with quality thru and thru.
It literally transformed my bike. I sold the “comfort seat” online for $100 bucks to a guy who was hoping it would release him from the agony of that stock painful joke of a seat.
I wished him luck.
Yeah cant ride on the comfort seat for more than an hour. How much longer can you ride with the corbin seat? I ended up keeping my bobber as a secondary bike and bought the darkhorse for longer rides
@@cmosadvantage5903 I can ride for hours on the Corbin, but you may have solved the issue with a bike better suited for long rides.
I’ve got my eye on a Springfield Dark Horse in that beautiful olive matte paint.
Indian knew what they were doing when the put that uncomfortable stock seat on and immediately sold the comfort version as an upgrade.... $$$. I did my research and went with the Corbin seat and don't regret it at all even with the higher price tag. It's super comfortable and the suspension doesn't bother me at all plus I like the way it looks.
You might’ve sold me on the Corbin. It’s that much better? How well does it hold you in when ripping it and not fall off the back? I’m assuming it’s very comfortable as well as you’ve said
@@hectichive889 It’s worth every dime. Note this: If you’re not going to use a backrest, do not order it with the backrest socket. I ordered the black on black, and the quality of the all-leather construction is excellent. It definitely holds you in when you Jack the throttle. Night and day difference in comfort.
i didnt even know this was another option for a new seat, thank you
I do like the look of the solo saddle seat…. My bike came with it but I have the default stock black seat…. I just wish the saddle seat had springs because it is a rough freaking ride…. Beautiful seat. Makes the bike look great but it is not comfortable to ride.
Thank you, really appreciate. I am going to get the comfort seat now.
Hell yea! Thanks bud 👊🏽
great vid really appreciate showing the riding position
Hey dude! I just came across this video and it's actually the first one I saw that talks about the comfort seat. Plus, I bought a Scout Bobber Twenty looking the same as yours, ahah! So it's nice to see someone with the same taste as mine. 👌🏻 I'll bring the bike home within the end of February with the black comfort seat installed but I'll still be keeping the brown saddle seat; here in Italy we get the 2021 model year of the Bobber Twenty with that instead of the standard Bobber seat. Thanks for the review man, I truly appreciated it!
Enjoy your riding! 🤘🏻😎
Thanks for the support! I'm sure you're counting down the days to get your bike. I think its best to have it installed with the comfort/default seat and getting the solo saddle seat on the side, to avoid the confusion of having to buy extra bolts later. Is the Indian a well known bike in Italy?
@@cmosadvantage5903 You got that right, ahah! I cannot wait! 😍
I had a nice conversation with the owner of the dealership where I bought the new bike and he told me that lately he's been selling SO DAMN MUCH! With Harley being on the edge for a while now, he said that Indian sales have increased a lot in the past couple years. Still, if you take a look around now you still won't see an Indian anywhere near you... I only spotted a Bobber Twenty at a bike meet this past summer but other than that, nothing. Harleys everywhere as usual. They're selling a lot of Bobbers as well, but the standard one, not the Twenty. Guess I'm some sort of a black sheep here, ahah!
Anyways, I just subscribed to your channel! At least we'll be able to share stuff. 😜
Have a great day! 😊
Very nicely done! Only one small comment on the audio - at the end before the ride, it is difficult to hear you. But, I definitely feel like I could install and should buy this seat. :)
Thanks for the input! I recently bought a dedicated recorder so hopefully that will solve my sound issue. I'm pretty much learning this video business on the fly :).
Thanks for this video
Great comparison. Was there any difference with ride height of comfort seat compared to factory seat? Thank you.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing this. I spent a little time looking for the parts to switch from the solo saddle to the comfort seat. Thought I would share the Indian part numbers. Bolts #7519005 Seat dart/pin #5140611 And they have an all black comfort seat available as well, part #2884226-VBA
Thanks Randy! I probably should have put the parts # on my video face palm. This was my first youtube video and glad you enjoyed it. Let me know what your thoughts are on the Comfort seat once you get some time on it.
Thanks for these part numbers. Very helpful!
nice bobber love that twenty
Thanks! What do you ride?
@@cmosadvantage5903 I had a honda VTX but got rid of it I'm looking into a twenty or the chief
what about the 1920 vs the comfort seat? on a bobber 60 and could use a little more i think
I've never ridden the bobber 60 but it seems they share same ride characteristics. The Comfort Seat is more comfortable but the Solo Saddle Seat has more curb appeal. Can't go wrong with either really. Be careful removing the seat dart/pin (bolt that latches to seat) when installing solo saddle, its easy to strip.
How can i get all black seat? I couldnt find the black one for my bobber sixty. Please share the link if anyone can.
Thanks
How tall are you???
So for longer trips it's still not comfortable?
Its a little better than stock seat but still a pain for longer rides. You're going to feel any ride longer than an hour.
Not to comfortable
Agreed the Scout Bobber is not meant for long rides. Its better than stock but still uncomfortable for long rides and the suspension doesnt help.
