Melly is the BEST!!! Love her to bits. Thanks for watching.

Hey Mike n Melly two beautiful bikes the kit looks the dogs on both ..Peace and Love ✌💗
Hello, just subscribed to the channel and finished watching all the Project Barney videos. Just wanted to say great content! I'm anxiously awaiting more of the Barney build!
So are we! LOL Melly and I have big plans for Barney. Just haven't had time to get out in the garage and get stuck into working on it. Hoping to get some more video recorded soon. Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Welcome back you 2....been missing yalls vids
Mike, the bike is looking awesome! Love your well thought out mods. Been looking for a side bag like this. Ordering one know. Thanks!
Levan Love when you order they cost 350 now is it 350 for both bags and brackets or just one ?
I wish you showed more of that bike with those bags on it, I got a few glimpses of it and they were quick, that's like sex with no orgasm I might consider getting those to replace the larger viking bags I bought, but I would like to see more of how they look look on the Scout, from what I could see they look very neat clean streamlined and not as big and bulky
Wow you did this over 4 years ago...but I just found it and glad I did. I bought one of Leatherworks tool bags and was so impressed with quality of leather and craftsmanship I decided to go with the same setup you have except the smaller 225 saddlebags. Thanks for the excellent tips on install. I was a bit concerned with the easy brackets but after watching your video they seem well made. Do you still have this bike w/ same bag setup? If so how are they holding up after a few years? Beautiful bikes in the garage! Thanks again.
I like the way those bags work, look, and attach to the bike. Unfortunately I don't see anything for the 2018 Bobber model. The bags you can purchase from Indian look like wallet size and are way expensive for what you get. The spacing of the fender strut holes may be the same, but are at a different angle than the scout or sixty. Anyway, bike looks awesome! They both do!!
sorry but these bags look really cheap & require too much install.
Great video! Thanks for making it!
hey a Canadian fan jean here,enjoyed the Barney project ..well at least up to part 14 hmm or was the last one 15 ? but then nothing more folks .. But we can see Barney in the background looks like work continued on without video documentation ..hmm not happy about that guys.lol.but Barney does look good ,for me im not to partial to that pipe but thats just me. but good to see you guys back .
Hey, thanks for the ideas and videos. I also have the Scout Sixty. Do you know the brand of swing arm bag you used?
It's a Willie & Max. I used the mounting holes for the lower belt guard with longer bolts, stand-offs, and a aluminum bar that was drilled to give me something to strap the swing arm bag to. I also have the Scout Bobber belt guard which is metal and has "holes", again to give me something to strap the bag to. It fits right where the shock is, doesn't hit the belt, and I can still get to the side stand. Thanks for watching.
Mike
What kind of motorcycle does she have? It really looks nice.
Hey Micheal,
I noticed you didn't mention the new swing arm bag. Did you change your mind? I've mounted stuff before and realized on long rides it wouldn't work anymore and took it off too ...
Thank you for all of your awe inspiring moto videos. You've given me helpful ideas on my 16'.
You really have an eye for what looks good, and what doesn't. I can't wait to see more projects . Also , how comfy is the seat been after riding on it around a year or so? If it's good I might buy it . Thank u mike 😎
My swing arm bag is still there. The Leatherworks Pony Express Saddlebags work just fine with the swing arm bag with no issues. The Sissybar Bag is just for the upper rack. Just have to noodle out a way to mount it. I think that I will use some velcro buckle straps instead of the provided leather strap. It may require I modify the little bag but no worries. The 1920's solo seat is plenty comfy but everyone's different so you will just have to give it a try at an Indian dealer if they have one installed. Thanks for watching.
Mike
Rench Ranch
Hey buddy , thanks for the input on the solo seat . I bought one this week. I think because it's wider the weight is more spread out, it makes it surprisingly comfortable. Think I'm gonna try the Klock Werks Klip Hander bars next , you can fully rider adjust them...
Keep up the videos Later bro 👍
Nice work, man
Nice saddle bags, cool quick release setup, btw... where can I get those brackets? I just my viking saddle bags and wondering where could I buy those easy release brackets for Indian Scout Sixty. Thanks, appreciate any help.
I got mine directly from The Leatherworks who made my saddlebags. The attachment system is from Easy Brackets.
You'd have to Google to see who's their retail distributor. I am not sure if they have their own website sales. For sure Leatherworks carries them as both my 2016 Scout Sixty and my wife's 2007 Triumph Speedmaster have them. Thanks for watching.
Mike
@@RenchRanch Okay, thanks a lot brother, ride safe and have fun.
Great looking bags. I'm thinking of getting a Scout this year.
Hiya nice bike
Do you have a link for the luggage rack
Please
Outstanding!!!
Those are two very, very fixe bikes!
On the top bag, maybe 2 neodymium magnets is all it needs to stop moving around?
We missed your videos, Mr and Mrs Rench. Seeing you is still surreal. "Look, it's Mike and Melly !!!!"
Anyway, all you kids need now is a weekend away. Have fun, you deserve it!
Your unconditional friends,
Alex and the emotional Lola
Alex buddy, wait till I get the new Hobart welder setup and running. All kinds of new Barney content will be coming. Melly also has some art projects she wants to give a try welding to make sculptures. For sure we need to get out on the road for some extended weekend rides! Just need some good weather! Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Where did you get those fender braces? I love them. Customer made?
I bought them years ago from Moore Speed Racing in the UK.
www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/search/for/indian+scout/
They were CNC machined by Moore Speed Racing. Not sure if they still offer them or not.
Thanks for watching.
Mike
@@RenchRanch thank you!
Все круто, гаики то внутрь надо бы колпачковые же поставить, а то вещи будут рваться об болты
Also, are these the Leatherworks 103 Pony express bags?
So it clears the 2 into 1 exhaust. Any idea if the bag would clear the stock exhaust?
Say is my computers color off or did Barney get a paint job as it looks red and i think i missed something ..speed master? exslpain.hmm or did Barney get a name change?
Very well done. I would like to know where to purchase the rear rack and side Indian name plates if you could please let me know. Thanks!!
Hey both, love the new channel name, and those bags look like they'll still be around in 50 years time, quality kit indeed .. Take care both, chat soon.. Del & Pennyx
The Leatherworks Saddlebags are extremely well made, IMHO just as good if not better than the OEM Indian bags. Leatherworks allows for a lot of custom options too so you can pick a style that suits. Made in USA!
Did the RUclips channel name change because Melly and I want to post videos of various things not just motorcycles and such. The name Rench Ranch was a bit of an inside joke but seems to fit. We love it even though in reality we don’t live on a Ranch! LOL We just don’t take ourselves all that serious! 🤣
As always thanks for watching and being great friends! Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Hi guys,keep those videos coming. I've been contemplating getting these bags for my 2016 but wasn't sure how they would look. Now I know. They look great. Kelly's bike is very nice as well.I owned a 2008 America,which is essentially the same as the speedster. Triumph makes an excellent motorcycle. Keep those videos coming. Ride safe !!
Where do you find the tank pads?
I made my own from a TechSpec universal tank pad kit. Thanks for watching.
Mike
Thanks for all your videos! Cheers from Romania! ✌🍻🍻🍻
How are those saddlebags holding up, do you still have them on your bike? I'm considering adding them to my scout and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
They are still very nice saddle bags. Zero issue. Just the occasional cleaning and leather treatment. Cheers!
Mike
@@RenchRanch Are yours 103 or 103X, how is the capacity?
They are the 103’s. I have other bikes for longer trips. It’s just enough room for a weekend trip. Any longer would probably need larger bags.
@@RenchRanch I'm considering the 103X, they are 2 inches wider in depth. I think the extra space may just come in handy to carry some extra fuel and essentials. Thank you for your help.
Send Leatherworks an e-mail. Their bags are basically build to order. They can add an extra pouch or even a bottle holder for your extra fuel bottle. The upcharge for custom work is very reasonable. Just contact them and ask. Can't hurt. Cheers!
Love the Scout 60 videos! Can't wait to get one of my own.
Thanks Much Appreciated! Cheers.
Mike
I have the same question as Mad Cannon. I am ready to do this but wondered how they will fit with stock exhaust.
After looking at the bike I think they would fit. Since you have to drill them to mount the Easy Brackets you can always adjust the position to get them to fit. Thanks for watching!
Mike
Nicly done Mike & Mel . Those easy brackets are great, I have them on my v star and they're very usefu when out on trips with the idiot collective 😅
your wife is living proof thats as a man its better to be lucky than good lookin
Excellent glad to see new content!!!!!
Are those factory spools ?
Nope, the hardware is all part of the Easy Brackets kit for the Scout. In my case since I was also using the Moore Speed Racing fender trim / strut, I had to get slightly longer stainless allen bolts. My saddlebags & mounts are all aftermarket. Thanks for watching!
Mike
Those look really greatMike! I appreciate all the inspiration for my black 60.
Bags look great on both bikes !
very good video, i been wanting to put some on my scout sixty
Melly is a cute girl that doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. 👍
One of the reasons we've been married for 20yrs! Cheers!
Mike & Melly
Which bag# is that? There are several Pony Express sizes. I'm running stock exhaust so I looks like I will need the 303+2 at 10" high & 15" long. My wife says I should pay the $10 extra and get the 7" deep bags rather than the standard 5" deep. What the dimensions of yours?
I have the Leatherworks Pony Express 103 Saddle Bags (and a Willie & Max Swing Arm Bag with custom mounts I made). They measure 12"x13.5"x 5" (H x L x D). I wanted the narrower ones as I don't do long distance riding on my Scout Sixty. If your using the Easy Brackets you will have room to adjust the fit as you have to drill the holes. If you really want to know how much room you'll have, cut a flat piece of cardboard to the dimensions of the bag (minus the depth). Then hold it up on the exhaust side. That is what I did before I ordered my bags. Thanks for watching!
Mike
@@RenchRanch Thanks for responding. One more quick question. How far out from the fender does the bag sit? I'm estimating about 2" accounting for the spindle and bracket?
Not even. it's basically standing out the thickness of the Easy Bracket. Now if your not using a factory passenger back rest (i.e. solo seat) then the Easy Bracket sits closer to the bike. If you have the other situation you need to order the correct version of Easy Bracket. I think in that case it will have more gap. Honestly it's pretty tight to the bike considering it's easily removable. Cheers!
Love what you have done with the Scout 60, How's Melly finding the speedmaster?
She loves it. Just wish the weather was better so Mel can get more seat time. For her, in some ways the bigger bike is much easier to ride and handle and in other ways it more difficult. Overall she just loves riding it. Who wouldn't, the EPCO drag pipes sound great! Puts a giggle into Melly every time she blips the throttle! Cheers!
Mike & Melly
whats the distance between the whole brakets?
Should say Mellys ..Damon spell check...
what the name of that little bag on the left from your video pic? I'm looking for one for my octane but I'm sure scout is almost the same
Nice
Do you believe those would had fit with the stock exhaust at that height? Or drilling so they sit a bit higher is needed?
I think they would fit with the stock exhaust even where I have them mounted. Since you have to drill the bags anyway you can always adjust. You can always contact Leatherworks to see about getting them custom made if you need more than the Pony Express 5" width. Thanks for watching.
Mike
When you order bags it says 350, is that just for one bag or both and does it coming with the brackets and what not ?
The Leatherworks Saddlebags are sold as pairs. The Easy Brackets are sold separately. You can specify if you have existing factory passenger seat & backrest as the Easy Brackets can be ordered for either. Leatherworks will ask you to specify that on the order.
They are far less expensive than the factory saddlebags and you can customize them to you taste. Thanks for watching!
Mike
In Michigan it's ALWAYS pothole season! (I live just across the river In Windsor, and visit frequently...)
Where'd. You get the light pod and light? I've been looking but can't find a thing
I didn't get a chance to make a video of it, but it's an Eagle Lights Halo LED Projector Light. Just Google Eagle Lights and you'll find their webpage. It's a complete assembly that replaces the factory headlight bucket. Plugs right in.
On the Scout Sixty, the headlight ring is a bit tight due to the paint. So you may have to file the inner part of the ring to get it to fit over then headlight properly. If you have the bigger 1133 Scout, the ring will drop right over. Thanks for watching.
Mike
What kind of tool bag do h have
Where did you buy the longer Allen bolts and hardware, can you link them?
Anytime I need hardware, assuming I know the size, I get it from Fastenal. They carry everything. You only need the extra 10mm length to the M8 x 1.25 bolt if you have the MSR CNC Fender Brace / Trim. Otherwise the provided hardware in the Easy Bracket kit is plenty long enough to do the job.
www.fastenal.com/products/details/11567684
Rench Ranch.... Thanks much appreciated, I do have the MSR silver version.
I would also get some neoprene washers from the hardware store. I doubled mine up. They are just flat disc's of neoprene to act as a cushion from the MSR CNC Fender Brace / Trim to the fender. Local Ace Hardware had them, I don't remember the exact size. The MSR kit comes with rubber o-rings and mine had already dry-rotted. Thanks for watching!
Mike
Thanks for these vids! I have a 2016 Scout. I am curious about your swing arm bag........can you give me buying info, and share how you installed it? Thanks so much!
Can’t wait for an update on the rebel
Thank you for these installs I've been looking at getting a brand new bike and was torn between a supermoto or a cruiser, cruiser selection was a toss up between this and harley Davidson sportster 1200xl. I think these videos have helped me decide on this one. Thanks!
The Scout is a really nice bike. With the 2018 models out now they are getting really well sorted. Lots of aftermarket parts are out now also. Glad you liked the video! Cheers!
Mike
Rench Ranch thanks bad news come today that I'm being laid off cant budget it right now but ill be sure to start putting videos on the channel once i get it, thanks for the response most channels dont respond
That scout is looking awesome. You do great work. Cracked me up at the end with the extra bag on the luggage rack; “I don’t like it”. Haha, I hear ya. Now let’s get to actual spring weather!
Discovered you through Jay Fast! Just started my channel and having a great time! Sub'd
Oh wait i just realized as i watch to the end the bike i was looking art want Barney but another bike ..why would she do that get another bike ? what she have enough fiddling around with the rebel?
Easy brackets clear belt guard width wise? (Looking down from top of bike would be x axis)
Yes, they clear it easily. They don't mount 90deg to the bolts, so the bags hang at a slight outward angle. As you get further down towards the belt guard, the bags angle away. I have zero issues with clearance. They work great. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Mike
@@RenchRanch You think you could fit a 17 inch laptop in that bag?
@@DominusDionysos I don't think so. My 13" MacBook Pro fits in there with just a protective sleeve and there's some spare room (a tiny amount). The dimensions are 2" x 13 ½" x 5" (H" x L" x D") from Leatherworks website. I do think they make a slightly larger version. Just have to check their site. Cheers!
Mike
Nice video - good job!
One of the best looking bikes on the road. Nice upgrades!
Keep it up man. I love your channel.
