Thanks a million for this! Mine are now mounted and working perfectly. Your video convinced me to buy the lights and I love them!
That’s awesome! Tag me on Instagram if you have it so I can see them. @jay_fast
Nice job Jay, you solved the headache for the next mod anyone attempting this. Thanks
Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain how to wire the lights. I was able to install them without any issues.
Awesome. Glad it worked out!
Thank you for these videos, I've been wanting to get an Indian Scout Bob for a while now. And your videos are helpful on customizing and fixing it . Great content :)
Thanks so much! i really appreciate that! Get the bike. they are fantastic!
They looked great at night. Very bright. You’re right. That tire though lol
Just ordered these. And this is extremely helpful. Wiring is not my strong suit at all
You will love them. Joker makes some amazingly high quality parts!
@@jay_fast finally got them today and getting them installed. This video was extremely help ful
@@azrider1949 that’s awesome! So glad it worked out!
Thanks so much Jay......great explanation but examples. you did a lot of work on this and it is greatly appreciated. J
+Bluegrass Aficianado thanks! I’ve gotten a lot from other guys on both the forums and the RUclips’s. It’s great to give back and be part of the community.
What a huge difference, so much cleaner look!
Thanks! I really like it.
That looks awesome, nice and clean 👍🏽
TainoLife 78 the back end of the bike was one of my only design issues. But with the 180 tire and the slim turn lights. I love it.
Not sure when I am getting this done but I am glad there is a video out there thanks
It seems a bit daunting. But once you’re into it. It’s not too bad.
Superb instructional! Thx!
Thanks for the comments. Hope it goes smooth for you
Bravo zulu you'd never know they didn't come from the factory like that. Or maybe they should. Nice job Jay 👍.
Mike W. what I didn’t know what the Canadian lights stick out further than the American stock lights. I’m very happy with the final product.
@@jay_fast looks great they streamline the look of the bike.
Looks sick jay, keep it up bud
Couch Caviar thanks. Got a few more items for her coming soon.
Youve done a really tidy job tho!👌👌
thanks! love the new look
Cool jay. I'm going to add some sequential turn signals on my scout 60 soon.
BUC 1901 I bet they are gonna look good!
18:31 doge looks comfy. Good job on the signals.
MAD Cannon decent garage companion.
thanks man . always like your helpful videos
Nice. Thanks for that! Did you end up swapping lights on your bike too?
@@jay_fast not yet but it's going to be on my list of mods
Very nice work.
Thanks man!
Came out bad ass... and I’m diggin that background music 🤙🏽
Diego Alvarez ya. I think the back end looks way better. Loving it.
That 180 tire🤙🏽
Seen a YT video where someone (can’t remember) swapped out to a 200 rear.
Big like 👍
Well I like you too!
Hey Jay fast, can’t find ya joker machine front indicator lights install vid, did you get it up online?
If one Day u come at Québec City, Ill paye u a Beer , 2 beers lolll Nice vidéo .
Peter Tee threaten me with a good time! 😎
Should have had you do my lights when you were done here in Cali.......
Meatball Rebel oh I’ll do your lights all right.
Good job Mr Fast. Now can you come back down here to cali and install mine? ✌🏿
Psychnurse Chris lets do it. Or you can meet me in sturgis....
The intensifier which one is it?
Run / turn or run/brake/tuen
What is the seat you are using on your bobber?
What kind of seat is that on your bobber?
They do look impressive. For me though, I'd prefer them a little more out from the bike, more to show the width of the bike and to vehicles behind it makes the bike look wider.
Photo Biker for sure. I get that. For me I wanted them tucked in. I think it looks better. But from a safety stand point you are probably right.
Do you have the video for the front lights? I'm trying to install the joker machine Astro's but I can't find which is power vs ground (brown and blue front signal wires)
Nvm. Got my hand on a multimeter and was able to figure it out. For those that may be looking (I couldn’t find an answer anywhere online), the blue wire is power and the brown wire is ground for the front signals.
I have the content. But it got corrupt some how. The fronts are a easy two wire hook up. The rears are the tricky ones.
I can’t find your video on the front signals
Do you have a link to your fork mounted rat eye install? I’ve looked but can’t seem to find it on your Chanel.
Ditto been looking
Hey, saw that you are from BC as well… can you recommend any after market place to buy mods and upgrade for the bobber? Like the exhaust slip on and such… thanks
Unfortunately there aren’t many options.
I’m on Vancouver island. We have a company they brings things over from the US. So I order from places like revzilla or joker machine. Ship to their office in Blane Washington (which most offer free shipping in the continental US) and for $17 they bring it to Victoria. I just pay the duty.
Fortnine.ca is decent too. It may have gotten better but at the time they didn’t offer much for the scout. This was easily 2018.
what size did you get for the fork? on the website i see 39mm, 41mm, and 49mm.
They are 41mm
Lpok good man, are the running, break and turn signals?
Kai Willaims yes. They function exactly as stock.
What would the garage have charged you for the labour on changing those rear lights?
Jorge Gonzalez I have no idea? Was a few hours work for sure.
I have the same tail lights. Honestly, the brake lights are nice and bright, like shown in the video, but the dimmer running tail lights are a bit too dim for my liking. At least the brakes are noticeable.
Do the front turning signals also work as daytime running lights?
I am not sure. I’ll have to check. Can’t remember
Don't you need amber lens for rear turn signals? In Florida you do.
Not in British Columbia. All rear turn signals here are red.
The stock rear lights on the rear are red. The fronts are amber.
Do you have a video for the front installation ? Thanks man
Super late reply. I do and don’t. It was up. But somehow the file was corrupted.
Hi Jay, I’m not using the joker machine LED lights on the rear. Instead I’m wiring a 6” LED light bar on my bike on each side on the rear. It has black,red,white,purple and brown wires on each bar and I watched your video on how to wire the intensifier. I’m not sure I need the intensifier?? Would I be able to wire this light bar in without it? I have the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber like you do. I could really use some help. Thanks
No. The intensifier is only to go from a two wire light to the bobber. There are some ways to get around it but I don’t know them. If you go onto the indian forums online and check out the bobber section there are lots of write ups. It’s not a simple wire hookup. The rear lights are fired through the ecu. But there is a way. It will involve some soldering on your part. Kuryakan and rizoma lights need something special as well. They might offer a converter. They are just expected. It’s just the rear lights. Fronts are an easy hook up. Djcutnpaste on Instagram is also a wealth of knowledge.
@@jay_fast Thank you for responding Jay. We did eventually figure out what we had to do. For some reason the Indian motorcycle won’t let us do what we need but it does still work with the run, brake , turn signals. I guess that’s as good as we’re going to get. Again Thanks for responding. Have a great day.
Have you got a link for the plates? I can only find 1 type on joker machines page
the only ones i used were from joker
jokermachine.com/collections/indian-motorcycle/products/indian-rear-turn-signal-adapter-black-1
Were the front fork signals also this complicated?
No. Fronts are a simple +/- connection.
Do you have a video link to install of the front turning signals ? Thanks
I don’t. I filmed one. But the file corrupted. It’s a simple two wire hook up. Very easy.
Jay , would the single rat eyes be wired in the same configuration ? My issue is I'm to sure if they are a single or dual wire light .
Adam.Z1K yes. You can see in the video I take the 4 wires of the duels and make them two wire. It only has 4 wires cause it has two led’s. So the process for the single rat eyes on the back is the exact same. You just have 1 led when I have 2.
@@jay_fast awesome I appreciate your response sir . I purchased a 19 scout bobber a couple months ago and have been kind of upgrading it off of what you have been doing . Appreciate your content buddy !
Adam.Z1K that’s awesome! They are great bikes. Are you in an area that rides year round or are you shut down for winter?
@@jay_fast I wish I was my friend. I'm in Indiana so this time of the year around the midwest is snow , snow and more snow . And yes sir I think its a great bike so far I have no complaints . I've ridden Kawasaki my whole life and nothing but sport bikes the last 18 years so it's a nice change of pace and I'm enjoying playing with different mods . Have a great day bud
Did you have to use the led intensifier for the fronts
Sorry for the late reply. No. It’s a simple two wire hook up.
Where did you get the adapter plates from
From joker machine
do you have a video to install the front lights?
I do but it isn’t edited yet
that 180 tire though👍
is commander2?
its the Avon Cobras
Hi Jay. I’m from BC too. Just picked up my Bobber Twenty in Sagebrush finish. Can you share where you got that license plate mount from. Thanks.
Nice! You are gonna love it.
I got my bike in Oct of 2017. My bike was on of the first 4 in BC at the time. So there wasn’t a whole lot of options this side of the boarder. I got mine from indian of Bellingham in Washington state. But I bet if you asked the dealer they could get it now. If you search my Instagram I have a post with all the part numbers.
This website is also helpful too

@@jay_fast thanks
Is that a180 mounted on a stock wheel?
It is ya. I put about 10,000miles on it with zero issue. I have octane rims now and different tires
Are they legal in CA. ? badass looking lights
marlon k I don’t know? I live in Canada. They function just as the stocks did. So i don’t foresee any issues for me.
Hi, i’ve got the same motorbike but front 2018. I had tried to connect the Turn Signals but it doesn’t Work. My motorbike has 4 wires. Do you know how to connect them? Thanks
This is a 2018 as well. It should just work as shown in the video
Can’t seem to find the front rat eye lights install video
Wondering if he took the video down?
The footage was corrupted by the GoPro. I am trying to piece something else together to get something out.
@@jay_fast ah got it! Thanks for your quick response Jay!
Where did u buy the plates for the rear lights?
The little adapters for the lights? They came from joker machine.
@@jay_fast its ok I was able to find them separately but thanks
Hello. Where did you get the block off plates ? Thank you
Also. Could you please share your install video for the front signals? Can’t find it
valdser they also came from joker machine
jokermachine.com/collections/indian-motorcycle/products/indian-rear-turn-signal-adapter-black-1
Are the joker rat lights bright enough during the day while they are on running lights ? Thinking of getting them but think they may not be bright during the day. Let me know what you think pls
valdser they are super bright. They are smaller so daytime they may not be as noticeable. Depends on how they are wired. If you use the joker intensifier to wire them in like I did. They cut the brightness to allow for day time running lights with resistors.
Jay Fast awesome. Did you use the intensifier on the front ones as well ?
valdser no. The front is a simple two wire connection. No other components needed.
Jay Fast last question, the front ones only have 2 wires ? Or 3 wires ? Thanks man
valdser so the stock bobber front lights are two wire. The stock bobber rear lights are three wire.
So any aftermarket two wire (positive and a negative) light will be a direct wire up swap. Super easy.
The tears you have to convert an after market two wire led to work on a three wire factory harness. That’s were the intensifier comes in.
Aftermarket three wire leds like the rizoma lights require a whole different setup not covered in this video.
I really appreciate if you can share a link from where I can buy this product
jokermachine.com/collections/indian-motorcycle
Will wiring rizoma club s’s up this way work?
Brian Wolfe how many wires are there on the rizoma?
@@jay_fast Rizoma club S have 4 wires. I am trying to do this now on a 2020 Bobber, I have turn and brake signals working but running is not. Also, 2019 and 2020 Bobber's have 3 wires from the bike for each side.
Robert H you will need the little box with the rizoma to work. There is a way to wire around it. There is some good info on it on the indian motorcycle forums. Online.
For your front rat eye blinkers, did you use an led intensifier as well?
No. It’s just a straight two wire hook up. Super easy
@@jay_fast thanks bro🤙
@@315oe3 anytime!
Just tried to tackle these front rat eye turn signals. I had no idea these fork clamp signals didnt open up all the way. Seems like you got to slide them on from the top of the fork after you take the top tree off. Is that what you did?
@@315oe3 yes. Remove the top of the triple tree and slide them on. It’s not that bad. Goes pretty quickly.
What seat do you have!!
Yevgeniy Simonovich it is the brave saddle made by Corbin.
Jay. I'm from BC too,The Kootenays. I am curious as to what soldering iron you used in the video and where you got it. I have the usual Scout mishap where the rear harness connector jumps out of it's holder and the rear tire burns off a few wires. The only soldering guns I have available locally are Canadian Tire and they get scathing reviews. Pure garbage. Yours looks just right for splicing my wires back together. There is not much wire protruding from the connector so I get one chance at getting it right. Inability to control the temperature could seriously complicate my life.
It’s a cordless butane soldering iron. Got it as a gift. Pro point maybe. I’ve seen them on Amazon. I really like it.
Might have come from lordco.
If your ever on the island. Hit me up on Instagram
@@jay_fast Thanks Jay. I'll look into it. Slim chance of me being on the Island. I spent 43 yrs in Powell River and if I never see another BC ferry again it'll be too soon. Ride safe and thanks again.
Jay... where is the vid for the front signals install? Thanks
Doodlik54 🥴🤷🏻♂️ I’ll get it out quick
@@jay_fast Thanks Man. I will be making the ride down from Courtenay to check out Island Motorcycles new digs when this virus thing peters out.
Doodlik54 nice! Another island rider.
I grew up in courtenay. Well let me know when you do. We can go for a ride. Hit me up on Instagram.
@@jay_fast 10-4!
I lost the bolt do you know what size the bolt is
Which bolt?
I can't find the video of your front turn signal install. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I have the footage. But some of it got corrupt. I’ll try and put it out. But the fronts are super easy. Just two wire hook up and it’s done.
Where do you get the block offs?
Found it my bad
@@brianjames7394 ya. From joker machine👍
Do you have a link for this turn signal?
Yes. Check out joker machine. They have awesome products.
jokermachine.com/collections/indian-motorcycle/products/dual-rat-eye-led-turn-signal-amber-black
Yo - thanks for the specs on wiring. I order the dual rat eye for the front. They said I did not need the intensifier for the front. Can you confirm?
Jonathan Logue correct. The fronts are a simple two wire hook up. Black to black. White to white.
@@jay_fast Hey bud, how did you install the fronts? Do they fork tubes need to come off?
@@jay_fast How did you hook up the front, meaning did you have to drop the fork tubes?
Jonathan Logue no. I just took the top of the triple clamp off. Super simple.
Drop handle bars. Remove upper triple clamp. Slide light over fork tube. Reinstall
@@jay_fast Thanks for the tip. I've got new lights all around going on this weekend.
Where did you get the plates to mount?
S Li im assuming you mean these
jokermachine.com/collections/indian-motorcycle/products/indian-rear-turn-signal-adapter-black-1
@@jay_fast yes! Thank you sir. I've had rear lights sitting in a box for 6 months lol
S Li you and me both. I think I bought these early last year.
Can you please link to where you got the service manual?

Thank you sir! Great videos btw 👍🏼
chadleim no problem. It’s a decent manual. Only thing is it isn’t colour. There is a free PDF kicking around on the Indian forums that has colour. I use both. But that PDF is for a 15-16 scout
am trying to make the connection but my motorcycle is bought in France, I have a yellow wire in addition, how should I connect it? it’s a wire for the flashing light… help me please I’m not doing well…
Jb Ltze what rear lights are you using ?
Jay Fast I bought exactly all the items you have in your video, Joker Machine flashers and intensifier. The harnesses on Indian Bobber in France have a yellow file (flashing) in addition in the harnesses. So I have red / black / white / yellow
Jb Ltze I’m not sure. send me a DM on Instagram. @jay_fast
@@jay_fast Hi
Thanks for this video, so i’m in France too, and before doing anything i would like to know if you found what was this yellow wire ?
Thanks
Jo
Man, are you selling the stock brake lights?
Alexander Mihaylov a subscriber already bought them a few months back.
Jay Fast, I had to try though 😃 I love the styling and they would fit perfectly on a small project of mine.
Ride safe man and keep up the great content!
Alexander Mihaylov thank you very much! I appreciate the kindness. There are a few more guys out there with aftermarket rear lights. I bet you’ll find some
Do you have a video of the front turn signal install?
Anthony Padilla yes and no. Filmed it but some of the footage got corrupted
@@jay_fast tell you what, you can use my bike for a new video 😉 lol.
Anthony Padilla well alright!
Lol how far of a ride is this gonna be? I'm in NC.
Anthony Padilla not too bad. Only about 3300 miles each way.
Did a grizzly bear rip off the top of your license plate?
cvsisinthehouse ha. Maybe.
Our plates are larger than American plates. Anyways in Canada the scout came with the licence plate in the back. They call it the international tail piece. Anyways. It was held on by the upper two bolts. Just vibrations of the bike started to fatigue the metal and it started cracking. Then I went side mount.
True story.
Great video....I.don't think I could have done this install without your wiring instructions. But they work perfectly and look badass. Thanks!
That’s awesome! It’s a bit tricky. Glad it worked out!
I understand the LEDs are bright but does the fact they stick closer to the frame, make you less visible to cars? Do they show show you as a smaller object than you really are? This is why I have not changed out my stock turn and brake lights and why I don't take off the reflectors. I'd rather be seen and not look perfectly cool than not be seen and be street salsa.
Street salsa does not sound fun.
To be honest id say the stock lights are much more visible. They are just bigger.
@@jay_fast I do love what you have done with the bike though. I'm just too chicken.
@@youflatbro7498 the main reason I did the rears was to put saddle bags in I needed a more low profile lights. I did a 4500 mile trip to California.
@@jay_fast That makes sense. I love your bike.
I'm fixin' to put on a Corbin seat, My wife wants to ride with me on my Chief. I also want to change the exhaust. I just don't like the stock exhausts Indian puts on their bikes.
@@youflatbro7498 the Chief is a sweet bike. You made a good choice.
Link for the manual?
z3safaripilot www.service-shop-repair-manual.com
Jay Fast the one I see wasn't for the 2019 bobber abs, is that what you have?
Never mind! Found your other link.
I think the original lights looks way better.
Agree to disagree. Ride safe!
Hi Jay,
Thanks so much for this video, you've expired me and I've just bought the duel rat eyes and singles for front.
I've scanned your videos but can't see one for the front instalation, could you post a link please?
Cheers and thanks again for all your content
Colin (from Kelowna)
Edit: Nevermind, just read the other comments 🙂 I'm terrified about having to remove forks, so may have to think of another option for the front ones.
Anyone want to buy some front rat eyes? Lol
You don’t need to remove them. All you need to do is take off the top of the triple tree. It’s super simple. Basic hand tools.
It’s worth it. You can do it!
Also. Hit me up on Instagram some time. I’d love to ride up to Kelowna. Assuming these fires settle down a bit.
@@jay_fast so I did it!! Not bad for a computer programmer with zero mechanical skills lol Dropped the forks and it worked a treat.
One weird thing is that they glow almost like day time running lights, which is weird as the originals don't even though I chopped and soldered into the original wires 🤷♂️ but I kind of like it anyway.
@@colinb6704 are you sure the stocks aren’t always on?
@@jay_fast I don't think so. I plugged the stock ones back in and there was no glow. I did write to Joker Machine and they said it was just a thing with the standard wiring system and they were working on a fix. No big deal though as I actually like them being on all the time, it's not too bright and the flashers are still super bright. Very happy and a big thank you for the Inspiration. Next time you're in Kelowna I owe you a beer or 2 🙂
Not sure how you do this shit...I would prob have an aneurysm + divorce...and this is before any wire has been cut...
wiring is not my strong point. the joker intensifies are the way to go
Prefer stock I like big bulbs
And cannot lie?
Garbage that they can’t get these to be plug and play for the money you pay.
Things may have changed since 2018 on the newer bikes. But yes. This was less than ideal to say the least.
