It’s sad watching his videos (as helpful as they are) knowing he’s passed away. RIP Man!
Yep, he was great
What happened to him?
@@mervyndelatorre he was in a bike accident from what I could gather.
Great install video!! Seems like a lot of us have the same idea, "The Bobber needs floorboards." I added a set of Joker Machine mini-floorboards to my bobber. So much more comfortable. Great idea and happy riding.
I thought about Jokers but wasn't sure about the comfort without some padding. How are they?
@@dadwithabike Very comfortable but with the serrations you have to be deliberate with your movements. My feet don't "slide" around to up shift or down shift. I'll need to adjust the shifter a little as well. Just haven't gotten around to it. Far more supportive then the stock pegs.
MISS YOU MY FRIEND!!! 😎😎😎
I installed those same aftermarket floorboards on my scout bobber 60. The only issue I have is they don’t flip up like the old pegs did. They go up maybe halfway. I worry if that will be an issue when I’m taking a turn and go into a deep lean. Great videos, keep them coming!
So, I did a lean test in my garage. The distance they go up is still more than before the bike would slide.
Looks great! I went with the Scout boards as I used the "Heroes" promotion to cover these and the Indian low wind deflector, otherwise would have done same as you. $200 for the word "Indian" is approaching stupid level from a consumer standpoint. I'm also adding a heel/toe shifter. Aeromach makes a nice one. Had this on my previous CVO Street Glide and it completes the floorboard "ergonomic" experience. Have fun!!
Thanks! I'm toying with a heel shifter as well.
Thanks a million 😊 helped a ton.
Awesome, glad it helped
Wanted to thank you for this helpful video. I followed your link to the buy the same floorboards and your video was my tutorial. Thank you for that. My riding boots are now very tight on both sides so I think I'm going to have to make adjustments as well. Hope you have videos for that! =)
Sadly I don't because my boots ended up fitting; however, you can adjust the nut on the shift linkage to bring the shift lever up.
@@dadwithabike Thanks for the tip. I'm customizing my 21 Scout and on a steep learning curve. Thanks again for the video.
@@claytonrhoades938 anytime. Hit me up on Facebook or Instagram of you need help with anything
Thank you for this. So happy I watched it. Gave me the confidence to tackle it myself. I did spring $12 at Harbour Freight for the ring tool though. I have a backseat on my Scout 60. I was wondering everyones thoughts on putting those Boards on for the passenger seat as well?
That was the first mod I did to my sixty and love it. I’ve put floorboards on every bike I’ve had. Not a fan of pegs
Sure does make it more comfortable
Thats awesome imma probably do that! 😍
Ride about 200 miles and I love em so far.
That’s what’s up! I’m getting these!
You'll love the comfort
Thank you for the video, love it. And I also found the link that you replied to the other comment, thank you for that. Where did you get the middle stand? I'd love to have that to keep the bike balance while I'm working on it.
Thanks
I picked it up on amazon for about $70 - it's just a simple and basic scissor stand
Love your ride, I've got the same war bonnet on my tank as well, but no one else here in Australia has it - I love that!
What jack are you using and does it lift the bike completely off the floor?
So the jack is just a motorcycle scissor jack from Amazon (paid $70 USD for it). It won't lift the entire bike up but lets me to work on the front or back and also keeps it level for me.
any issue with the clearance between the shifter peg and floorboard? Enough room to get your boot/shoe under it with no problem?
I have the same issue
Thank you so much for all the great video/content. I absolutely look forward to all of your videos as they have helped me big time. I have an Indian scout bobber 2021. I bought similar floorboards from ebay. I just can't get the rubber washer in. I tried what you showed but it still doesn't fit in. I've installed it without that rubber washer for now. Any suggestion on how I can resolve this problem would be of great help.. 🙏
Awesome, you'll love it. They are fun and easy to customize
Nice video and even nicer pegs!
How is the lean angle compared to the pegs? Can you lean more or less?
I "feel" like I can lean more but I think that is because my feet are up a little bit. I did a lean-over test in my garage and it's fine.
Does your foot fit well between the shifter and floor board not to cramped?
How are the Dean speed crash bars holding up? I'd really like to get these but are they secure enough? Thanks for the videos!
I want to thank you for that I just ordered myself some from eBay they should be coming in tomorrow I also wanted to ask you about the bars you have to protect your motorcycle I never seen any highway pegs like that
The crash bars are from Dean Speed. Go check them out.
Where to grab the custom tank logo for the bobber ?
how long has it been with the floor boards I'm about to pull the trigger and order some from Amazon but want to know if they held up this riding season
They do very well. I do swap between these and pegs depending on where I'm riding. When I do my long trips the floorboards go on.
I did the same thing, and with my boots I had to adjust the clutch lever to provide a little extra hight.
yeah, I may be doing that as well - it's a tight fit
I'm in the same boat as you and a newbie. Is it the clutch lever you actually adjusted? Hard project? Thank you.
@@claytonrhoades938 not at all, truly unscrewing a rod and adjusting length to elevate the shifting peg. Takes about 30 mins start to finish.
@@gregoryhobbs3368 Appreciate the response. Thank you! I have found that when web-sites say something is a 25 minute project, it turns into 1.5 hours for me. Ha! I will be giving this a go. Appreciate the tip on it!
@@gregoryhobbs3368 Happy to report that this was the rare job that maybe took me less than 10 minutes. I adjusted both the gear and brake side. Good stuff. Used this video as a guide. ruclips.net/video/yah9FB-Z7qA/видео.html
Are the bars on the side of the radiator foot rest or to protect the bike if it's dropped? Where did you get them from
They are crashbars, but you can rest your feet on them. I got them from Dean Speed
I am very sad he is gone.
Mine came today and had the Indian logo badge that sticks on in that upper cutout.
Sweet, I love my floorboards!
Do they make theses for the passenger too?
Question for you, I want to purchase the same floor boards you shared the link to on eBay however I have a 2021 scout bobber, I asked the seller if they would fit and they replied they don’t fit my bike. Is your the scout 60? Wasn’t sure why they wouldn’t fit.
Mine is the Scout Bobber and they should fit because the controls are the same. It is just a simple pin involved in removing the pegs and adding the floorboards.
@@dadwithabike thank you for replying! Thanks for the video too, I’m excited to add them to my new ride!
Thank you for the video. Keep up the awesome videos. Did you happen to have the link where you purchased these?
Thanks - and yup, here's the link - www.ebay.com/itm/133513992197
@@dadwithabike D'oh! Much cheaper on ebay than amazon, but I'm leery of buying the last one, or the one that ships from china and arrives in 2 months. Worth it to me to spend the extra $60 on amazon - I'll have them in 2 days. Can't wait to see/feel the difference!
@@bradsonnicksen6907 I got these in about two weeks or so.
Did you experience any vibrations at high RPMs? I am at anything above 4K and it’s driving me nuts cuz it’s tickles my feet haha.
External retaining ring
Fine, you sold me. Does it allow for more comfortable seating positions. Seem like with just the pegs I can't adjust much.
It does for me. It lets me move my feet around from a forward position to mid, out to the side ... lots of freedom to move.
@@dadwithabike that's what i was thinking. Thanks for the feedback!
Hello, is the shoe under the gear lever convenient for changing gears?
Yes it is, I wear boots and it fits under the shifter
Grazie ✌️
What floor boards are these? I don’t see the link.
So I came across these on Ebay some time ago. Here's a link. www.ebay.com/itm/333381891731
What's the brand name of the ones you installed?
No specific brand, just something off ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/133513992197
What brand are these? I'm interested in getting a set.
They are "no-name" to be honest. They are found on ebay and run around $150 or so.
I have the same set of floorboards but i have a set that comes with a stick on emblem that says "Indian".... would you consider your product as fake?
I'd call mine "not official" but it's probably from the same manufacturing facility. These items are built overseas by Indian anyway and it's pretty typical that those facilities begin pushing their own "unbranded" versions of things. They are fine quality, just not official.
Maybe I missed it but what brand are these?
They are "no name" but here's the link - www.ebay.com/itm/133513992197
Could not get the eBay ones to fit whilst using the rubber o ring, made the assembly too wide to fit in the slot!
Dang really. They should be a tight fit but hopefully you were able to return them.
Do you have a link to the floor boards?
Sure do, here you go... www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Aluminum-Floorboards-Footboard-2015%E2%80%912021/dp/B093DKRXJ4/ref=asc_df_B093DKRXJ4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507584275636&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=506430629835206109&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028296&hvtargid=pla-1278660437215&psc=1
Have you noticed any change in lean angle
Nothing negative .... still scrape the pegs about the same spot I usually do when riding my normal routes.
Do those have the floor board tilt like the Indian one. The Indian ones you can set the tilt angle of the floor boards . It would suck if those stay flat
They tilt. They go on just like regular pegs do and use the pivot bolt fr the OEM pegs.
@@dadwithabike thanks, I’m going to be getting these then . 👍✌🏼
By tilt, do you mean the permanent position (so not flat) or just do they fold up and down a bit? I just installed mine and they ride flat but have a very small amount of tilt up when needed. I'm new to this so I may misunderstand. Thx.
@@claytonrhoades938 Nope, your dead on. There's a slit tilt for when you grind the feelers on the floorboard so there's some give. Normal riding, they are flat.
@@claytonrhoades938 the front toe and heel tilt. My ankles bug me when flat. With the pegs I have the my toes up and heel down.
I'm about to purchase these floorboards. What's your thoughts after 1 month?
I am so happy with the mod. I just got back from a 5 day trip and they were a comfort game changer. Being able to move my feet around made all the difference.
Good video as usual... could you add a link to the floor boards you bought & added. Thanks..👍🏻🏍
Sure thing - here ya go - www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-Driver-Floorboards-Foot-Pegs-Fit-For-Indian-Scout-Sixty-Bobber-2015-2020-AT/133513992197?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Thanks Dad!! Great bike, great mods...😁🏍👍🏻
How much were these? Do you have a link
They were about $160. www.ebay.com/itm/333381891731
Will a good motorcycle boot fit under the pegs? ***The round bars have wiggle room.... Thank you!
I had to adjust them, but after that my boots fit.
side profile of you on the bike please. Also, how tall are you ? P.S. Bike looks great !!!
Here's a link to a photo in my instagram that gives a side profile. As for my height, I'm about 5'10" - instagram.com/p/CLAXBa1hr1N
Yeah those look every bit the quality of Indians for sure
They are ... and I still rock them today when I do long long trips.
You have a link to these?
Sure do - www.ebay.com/itm/133513992197
@@dadwithabike sweet. Thanks. I go pick up 2021 bobber on Fri, these are going on asap
They are almost identical - except Indian F’s you by $267 dollars more. I bet they are made in the same factory in China 😂
Is that a huge cat or what?
The worst review ever
