Indian Scout Bobber ODI Vans grip install

- The stock grips on the 2020 Indian Scout Bobber were not comfortable in my opinion. This video walks through the process of removing the old stock grips from the Indian Scout Bobber and replacing them with something familiar to anyone that grew up as a gen xer, in the bike or skate scene. The grips I chose are the Vans grips from ODI. I’ve installed them on one of my vintage Haro Masters and like the feel of them so why not try them on my motorcycle. They are only 20 USD so I felt they were worth the risk and I am very happy with the results in both look and feel.
The procedure is pretty easy and outlined in this video.
Thanks for watching!

For anyone else wondering, I read that when you order the 7/8” grips you receive a 7/8” for the clutch side and a 1” for the throttle side. Likewise, when you order the 1” grips you receive a 1” for the clutch side and a 1 1/8 for the throttle side. Hope this helps.
Yes, the throttle side is larger for the diameter of the throttle tube. For the scout platform, you want to go 7/8
That might be just the ticket for me. Gonna check them out. A fatter grip eases the cramping in my hands d/t arthritis
I have these on my scooter, grips like these are an improvement for any bike, I'm installing these on all my bikes now. It cushions vibrations and confortable for large hands. Great video!
Thanks for watching. I have these on all of my bikes now.
Love these grips, and for the price, can’t beat them!!!
The next mod.. been lookin for them i have them on my bikes..nice job.. edit you already got the solo seat nice one of the better looking scouts I have seem online
Thanks for the feedback. There is a link in the description of this video to get the grips.
You sold me on them dude. Thanks for the vid.
Glad I could help
I think I might like those grips on my bobber. They look comfortable. I gotta say, I love the paint color and seat on your Indian. Mine"s blue, with the stock solo seat
Hairspray is the way to go. Thanks for the video.
Great video! I would have never thought to check the inside diameters thanks.
Glad to help
Great video! 0:05
Thanks
Great video. Your handlebars are those the OEM mini apes? I have them but haven't installed, wondering if they are more comfortable than stock
Yes, my bars are the Indian mini apes. I like the riding position on these better than feeling hunched over too much. These come stock on the indian bobber twenty.
Did you try using an air compressor to remove the grips? It's always worked perfectly for me and only takes a couple minutes....and you save the original grips as well.
Yes I did try that and didn't have luck (mostly due to the pressure and not having a good nozzle on it at the time.)
I was never going back to the grips so it wasn't a huge issue. I have gotten it to work in the past though.
Hey buddy, what model is your handlebar bag ? And also where did you get it ? Thanks , awesome bike !!
This is the bag I use. amzn.to/3xVAzEI
Just saw this, and great video. Where did you get the seat?
This is the 1920 seat that comes on the 2020 bobber twenty. I think it is the only year it came with it but you can buy one from indian.
looks great, what year and color scheme is that bobber? It looks awesome!
Thanks. It is a 2020 Indian scout bobber twenty in sagebrush smoke
Great videos! Question, did you cut the ends of the grips to fit the bar ends?
Yes. You will have to take a razor blade and cut the ends so you can bolt the mirrors back on. The rubber is soft so it is very easy.
@@MessyGarageBMW well, I spent the last 45 minutes installing my new grips(found a pair that already had the end caps open at my local bike shop) and had no issues, even the throttle grip came right off. Thanks again for a well done video!! Keep up the great videos!!
I have a question, when you removed and installed back the throttle tube is it really just a clip on or do you have re threads the throttle wiring on the control system?
I just received the vans cult grips for my scout bobber 60.
It really is easy. Just slide it on the bar and into the throttle control and if will slide and clip into place. Hard to describe but incredibly easy and you'll see what I mean once you take it apart.
@@MessyGarageBMW thank you so much I appreciated that. I always enjoy your videos 👍
@@abcdefg4552 If you have any questions you can hit me up on instagram and I will try to answer whatever questions you have.
@@MessyGarageBMW thanks a lot that very helpful 👍
I have the ‘20 Indian scout bobber sixty and my throttle hand goes numb all the time. Did this help with that? Or is there something else you would suggest?
I had a similar feeling in my hands and this did help. Another thing to look at is your bars and if you are leaning on the wrists with the stock bars. Mine came with 10" apes so it is more comfortable on the back and wrists. That is a long answer but the short version is yes these did help me for sure.
Thanks for the video !, Do I really need to cut off the stock one to fit the vans grips?, I am trying to use the stock grips for another bike :/
You need to get the grip off of the throttle tube. If you don't cut it you would have to work harder and may end up breaking the throttle tube and have to buy another one.
Juan, did you ever make the swap?
@@johnrogers7567 Not yet. I still have the stock ones. I think it needs to be cut for me to fit the vans ones. :(
@@JuanAVela-lf9ql , did mine this past weekend. I wasn’t able to save the old grips. 😡
Did you say you ordered the 7/8 grips and got two different diameters inside the package? One for the brake side and one larger size for the throttle tube side? The only ones I see online they are both 7/8 or both 1", not for individual sale? Thats a nice set up, thanks for the vid!
The link in the description takes you to the right grips. There is a 7/8 and a 1 inch in the box. Make sure you put the larger one on the throttle tube.
@@MessyGarageBMW TY!
@@bushi187 did you get the 7/8” ordered? I’m asking to see if they came like you ask and not 2 of the same size 7/8”???
How’s the hair spray holding up is the grip twisting after use? I’ve only used grip glue.
Hairspray holds up great. Ive done this for years on BMX freestyle bikes and has never let me down. Both grips on the bobber have also stayed put as I expected and I've put over 2k miles on it since.
@@MessyGarageBMW awesome thanks for the response and the tip!
Are those grips fatter than the stock ones? Also how far can you go on the 1920 seat?
These are certainly more comfortable than the stock. A bit softer and stickier but not sure if they are thicker. I've done a full day in the 1920 seat. It is more comfortable than it looks but it is not a road sofa. I think the wide seat allows you to shift positions and stay comfortable longer.
Tell me more about that phone mount? I would like something similar on my Scout Bobber.
This is a phone holder that I use on both my Suzuki and the Bobber. I've been very happy with it. I'm including a link. This link is an affiliate link so it helps to support the channel as this is not my full time job. Let me know if you have any other questions.

where can I get a set of those how are they for vibration
They cut the vibration down greatly and there is a link to where to buy in the video description. These grips are awesome. I have installed them on a few of my bikes. My favorite go to grips.
Damn I should have listened to this before doing my throttle side. I cut way to deep and jacked it all up. Now I wait for a replacement. 🤦🏽♂️ 🤬
That sucks. Hope you have it all sorted out now and are back on the road.
I'm sorry is it me or the original grip looks more quality?
The answer is really in the hand. What feels better and is easier on your hands with comfort and fatigue. The stock grips are harder but that doesn't relate to more quality. These are very well done and I've used them on my BMX bikes as well.
@@MessyGarageBMW Thanks for reply. You know I really like to keep it original. I bought the scout bobber sixty 2020 and I'm trying to no do much to it. Maybe exhaust
@@alxemend7655 I changed my exhaust as well and there are videos on my channel on those. I installed slipons and also took the chrome heat shields off and wrapped the pipes. I like both mods but some don't care for the wraps.
Sorry, one more.
Can you recommend a nice fat grip? I have large hands. Thank you.
Don't know of any first hand that I could recommend
@@MessyGarageBMW Thank you.
Literally don’t even show you removing it??
It was just a bunch of me struggling to pull it off. Not exciting. I talked through what I did but if I were to do it again I would just cut it. The grips are never going back on and I cut the throttle side.
