Just picked up this 2015 Scout. 2000 Miles on the odometer, excellent condition, she's a looker.

I got the bike unloaded last week but today was the first chance I had to do much with it. This is how it looked this AM. I'm a less is more kinda guy so I pulled the the reflectors off the forks... I'll be doing some "flashing down" to the bike, cutting some chrome in favor of paint.

Nice ride, you will love it.

Mailman brought me some parts this week... Pre-owned 1920 seat in new condition and a set of fork gators... Shopping around saved me some decent coin!

 

[lahti35]

Two steps forward... One back! Turns out the seat was for a bobber... Different cover plate but the rest fits. Have to get the correct cover plate but I like the seat, looks good too!

I've read that the 1920 seat is more comfy than the stock seat. Someone on this forum put non functional coil springs between the cover plate and the seat to make theirs look like an old fashion sprung saddle. I thought that was a cool idea.

Cool idea!

I've always preferred a tractor seat myself. Never had a fixed seat of that type before, I must say with the suspension on the bike it was a comfy ride.

If any bobber guys have the stock 1920 seat frame cover they want to sell i'm in the market... I have a bobber frame cover to trade...

I need this style:

I picked up some new grips for the vintage bar setup, very grippy with some give...

I need some new exhaust gaskets for the RPW ambush exhaust system that's on the way... Indian wanted $24 each so I found some H-D gaskets with the same ID and OD for $10 a pair. Exhaust should be here Wednesday...

 

[lahti35]

Got my Capt. Itch mudflap in the post, mounted easily and looks great...

 

[lahti35]

I'm working on a low rise vintage style bar setup and I want to go with bar end mirrors and signals. The issue is the bars are not long enough so I've had to extend them some. I'll trim to fit once everything is mocked up.

Ups guy brought me my exhaust today... Sneak peek... Looking forward to installing it this weekend.

 

[lahti35]

Worked on installing the RPW Ambush exhaust this am...

 

[lahti35]

Finished grinding down the handle bar extensions and got the controls moved to the new bars. Somewhat challenging to get the wiring routed by slow and steady won the day. Still have to extend the wires for the brake light switch...

 

[lahti35]

I got about 75 percent of my goal done today, tomorrow should get the job done. Here's how she looks at the moment.

 

[lahti35]

Got the wiring and all the goodies on the bars complete...

Now for a few gratuitous beauty shots...

 

[lahti35]

I decided I wanted something else for the thermostat cover... I bumped into a primary cover on eBay for an older Indian, maybe a Gilroy, and thought it might look good.

I'll paint it up later but I got the body roughed out and welded up tonight...

 

[aygraha]

Looking forward to seeing how this comes out . Nice work so far .

 

[lahti35]

Got the new thermostat cover finished up, I'll paint the lettering this winter when the snow drops...

 

[lahti35]

Replaced the Indian primary cover with a satin black one this week...
