  1. Indian Motorcycle Builds
    So I know this topic is going to be to be very controversial, so I would appreciate if the nay sayers just keep scrolling. I personally bought my bike because I love that it’s liquid cooled and makes 100hp. I will be riding with primarily crotch rockets and built Harley’s (that leak oil and over...
  2. Thunder Stroke 116 Performance & Suspension
    Hi, I'm wondering if I'm the only one who thinks the front suspension on a 2023 Chieftain LTD, rides way too harsh. Pretty well all imperfections in the pavement shake the handlebars and instruments violently similar to driving over washboard. Other than being extremely tiring, I can't imagine...
  3. Indian Scout Performance & Suspension
    HEADS UP!! I have been searching for shocks with piggyback reservoir but the prices have been killing me! Found these the other day at Revzilla (prob at other sites as well) and they are a CLOSEOUT. Currently priced at $756.76 ($818 after Texas tax). Best price I've seen for this type of...
  4. Indian Scout Performance & Suspension
    I'm new to the forum world and posted this on a thread thinking I didn't want to recreate something. I'm just guessing, but I think most of us don't follow threads not related to our bike or interests. I apologize for those users that have seen this question, scold me for double posting if you...
  5. Indian Scout
    INTRO THREAD: I just purchased a 2016 Scout non abs, it has 2900 miles. Very nice bike for the price. First thing I noticed was the brake and clutch lever. They’re aftermarket and the kuryakyn brand. Both have a lot of free play up and down. All bolts are tight. I saw a post where...
  6. Indian Scout
    Before you decide the factory shocks on the scout are inefficient, make sure you adjust them properly! Too many people swapping them out, spending hundreds (actually more like a thousand) to improve something they didn't take the time to try to calibrate properly. Follow these instructions to...
  7. Indian Chieftain
    Country roads in Australia in a terrible state. Lots of pot holes, corrugations, tar waves. Experiencing a degree of chattering/patter in downhill corners that have ripples and corrugations . Anyone changed original Chieftain fork springs to Progressive or RaceTech or some other brand? Did it...
  8. Indian Motorcycle General Discussion
    I’ve been very curious about this topic and I don’t think it has been touched on much. I’ve seen a few bikes (chief/chieftains) with ohlins front forks. Wondering who is making these triple trees, it’s pretty clear they are not available to the public. I tried to get some info out of D&D...
  9. Indian Chieftain
    Hi, as a long distance bad narrow highways traveler I thought to replace the good original suspension front and rear with Hyperpro springs and oil kit. Reminding you I have a 19" front on my Chieftain Limited 2018 It replaces: front fork springs and oil (OEM unknown, Paioli? Fox?) rear shock's...
  10. Indian Scout Performance & Suspension
    I recently install new rear suspension on my Bobber. Wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be but now I just need to learn how to tune them. Nonetheless, I seem to have run into a minor complication. Because I use spacers between the frame and the new shocks, the top exhaust no longer fits...
  11. Indian Motorcycle General Discussion
    Hey all, I'm thinking about upgrading the rear suspension on my 2019 Scout Bobber to the Progressive 444 but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to go with the 11" or the 11.5"? I want to keep the height of the bike the same as it is stock. Any insight?
  12. Indian FTR1200
    I recently bought a 2019 FTR S. I really like the power and handling, however the suspension is overly harsh. Has anyone found a solution for that? I know that there are damper adjustments, but even full out the compression damping feels too stiff to me. Ideas? Also, if there is someone who has...
  13. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    The shock absorber springs for the Thunder Stroke models are supplied to the OEM by Eibach. UTV ATV Moto Coilover Race Springs & Accessories | Eibach Springs Each spring has a series of numbers on it that indicates it's length, inside dimension and spring rate. It looks like a phone number...
  14. Indian Scout Performance & Suspension
    I recently purchased and fitted the Darkscout Suspension Kit from Prop Engineering in Australia. I did the rear springs myself and had the front springs and oil professionally done at a local motorcycle suspension specialist. I thought I would do an in-depth review and follow up with a Youtube...
  15. Indian Scout
    Is a mono shock design in the Scout's future or is this just a rumor?
  16. Indian Scout Performance & Suspension
    Currently looking at the Scout Bobber but the suspension, to me, seems very stiff. Any recommendations on aftermarket suspension that will fit? Have any people replaced their stock suspension on the bobber? Thanks.
  17. Indian Scout
    Before i go out and drop $1000 on a new setup can anything be done to ease the ride on my scout? Im 145lbs and it feels like I'm feeling every pebble and divit in the road. The rear suspension is set to the factory recommended length, but does not compress at all when I sit on the bike @_@.
  18. Thunder Stroke 111 Performance & Suspension
    I have a 2017 chieftain. In addition to the reach seat, I was given three options to lower it in hopes of flat footing it. 1. Adjustable shock 2. Lowering link 3. Air ride Option 3 not in the budget I went with option 1 the Arlen Ness adjustable shock preload to the shortest and 0...
  19. Indian Scout
    As many here know, I'm a little bit of performance/feature/adjustment junky. I have mentioned my dismay to that aspect when it come to a lack of features when it comes to American bikes.. so many completely overlook this, many forget to realize that often, performance bits can when used...
  20. Indian Scout Sixty
    I'm one of those who has found the Scout 60 suspension entirely adequate. Nevertheless, I'm going to try some Bullit shocks this week, and I have progressive fork springs on order. My hope for the shocks in that they may keep the rear wheel on the ground more firmly over bumpy corners, and so...
