I love how you modified license plate and turn signal under seat, but I order under seat lights from Tank Machine and that license plate mount from them as well. Like this you saved at least $1k, unfortunately I don't have place and tools to do something like you did. Again, thank you for all ideas and information you share with us, that 240 rear tire installation video was gold for me
Valuable information with different closeout piece. I was scratching my head with why the part that Tank Machine sent didn’t fit my Scout bobber. Language barrier didn’t help.
Been watching a long time. Love to see you change tastes and progress with the bike. Still on the fence, but nothing compares to the looks of this indian.
JB-weld is decent stuff, like you said if properly prepared. If I may I'd like to make a product suggestion for future use. It's called Steel Stick by JB weld, it's a two part clay that is extremely strong, much stronger than the epoxy in the tube by JB weld.
Thank you for the explanation video. Would you know the dimension of the bolts that tank machine provided with the cover plate? I am looking to fabricate a block off plate but want to use cleaner looking counter sink bolt. Thanks
I cut the factory bar end mounts in half, used a tap and die to mount the rectangle mirrors that I found on Ebay for roughly $25.00. If you search “rectangle motorcycle mirrors” you’ll see them with a split frame mount.
The only way to keep the stock seat is to remove the fender, relocate the tail lights and cut the subframe all the way back to where it supports the underside of the seat. Trial and error if you're handy with tools. Worst case, you have to buy a new subframe ($700) and go back to stock.
Hi there, the bike is looking great!! I'm keen to fabricate my own engine close off for my ISB, the same as the one you made and replaced in this video. Any chance you could tell me the dimensions (height x width) of the plate? I'd like to make it before the seat arrives. Many thanks and great job with the bike!
Hello Kristen, your best option is to wait until you remove the rear subframe. Trace around the mounting surface area onto a piece of poster paper, then use that as a template. Watch my video titled “Indian Scout Bobber Rear Fender DIY” this should help you out. Thanks for watching!
Their website is down for some reason. The part you need is for the Scout 100th anniversary. It has that recessed section to match up with the fender delete plate. If I can find the part number, I’ll post it.
Ah ok cool, no worries. Any plans for a future bike? I just bought a KLR650s 2023, they're on sale now can find them for around $5700 new, but so much fun.@@oxouk
I just got my new bracket after waiting 3 months. The original is nowhere close to fitting. If you have a bench vise, you could easily fabricate a bracket. Doesn’t need to look pretty, you won’t see it anyway.
I have a better idea for you to hide the wires from the taillights instead of running them on the side of the block off plate I can send you pics of the way I set up my bike .
dammm! your bike is so sick😍 belive me, im not HD guy falling in love ID scbb240rear😚 i love that one handle bar uhhh😥 gold sock absorber🙂 that's a man toy, bolt nuts chop cut...
Now I understand the saying not all heroes wear capes. Legend. Sick bike.

Thank you for the kind words.

It confused me for the longest time also.
great approach with the brake light bracket
This will be my first bike, when I get my job in 1,5 years.

Great Video!
Awesome bike man. Really like how you’ve made it your own....That really cleaned up the the look. Can’t wait for the ride vid, love the pipes....✌️
Cool. I just bought the Tank Machine Fender kit which includes this bracket.
Can't wait for the riding vid, thanks for doing that ! Cheers

Steel stick is great. I have also used that in the past for other projects.
I was wondering why not install the license plate and turn signals first before putting the seat , so will have enough room to work .
Can you tell me where you got the bracket for license plate and rear signals? (Great video)
NM! I missed that part!

Hi there great video , had a question what type of rear mirrors are those on the bike.
I cut the factory bar end mounts in half, used a tap and die to mount the rectangle mirrors that I found on Ebay for roughly $25.00. If you search “rectangle motorcycle mirrors” you’ll see them with a split frame mount.
Ok thank you
is it possible to attach the stock seat back after the fender delete and covering the subframe? because i really like the stock seat. thanks
The only way to keep the stock seat is to remove the fender, relocate the tail lights and cut the subframe all the way back to where it supports the underside of the seat. Trial and error if you're handy with tools. Worst case, you have to buy a new subframe ($700) and go back to stock.

Are those decals on the side of your gas tank? Or just outlines?
Just cheap pinstripe tape I bought at the local auto parts store.
Cant find that resest part on that website is there anywhere else u can get that part

Hey Oxouk! Any chance you've still got that plate you fabricated and want to part with it?
I actually don’t even have the bike anymore. I sold it last year. I’m pretty sure I gave that plate away to someone else that asked.

Can you tell me where I can purchase the sub frame plate??
It’s a company in France called Tank Machine. The website is in French, but there is a tab to translate.
Should of painted all the bolts black
Would the original bracket work with just adding new holes? How off was it compared to the new bracket?
