Is that the Corbin Brave? Was looking into that but my wife is worried she'll fall right off the back (and she's relatively small nonetheless). Any comments from your passenger?

No, I actually got the dual touring saddle. I just put it on a few weeks ago so that my wife could have a backrest. I had the Indian touring passenger seat before and she couldn’t go without the back support. She hasn’t been able to try it out yet though due to some bad weather days and work conflicts.

I have the brave on my bobber sixty. I had the same concerns but my girlfriend stated she doesn’t slide at all!!

I’m really debating on the brave. The paint is so fragile a guy might as well cover it

Man what a beautiful saddle. From that angle it complements the lines of the bike so well...

I plan to put down some paint protection film on the fender to help protect it. It doesn't appear the Brave does much in that regard

Added reduced reach backrest, oil change. Awaiting 2” riser/speedo move. Bars are just a little almost comfortable there. Indianaftermarket.com. Marcus has great products!

Put a new Rokform perch mount on and got torque app setup for a good start

Now waiting on some shorties.

Hold up, Torque app works? How does it communicate? I've used Torque app on my Audi S4, but it has an OBD2 bluetooth dongle...

Put on some Nitron R1 shocks on my 2017 S60 and got to test them a bit for almost a couple hundred miles during a poker run. These come preloaded to your weight and passenger weight (if you have one) and also have a rebound/dampering adjuster.

First impressions are that I like them and they are a noticeable improvement over stock. The road in general feels much softer and they provide a more cushioned ride. Smaller bumps are hardly noticeable and hard bumps/holes less jarring than before. I think with more fine tuning to the rebound/dampening adjustments they might be even better in this regard.

I also noticed a significant change in handling. They did raise the bike a little and I could tell the difference though I don’t know exactly by how much. I’ve learned with bikes even a few millimeters can be noticeable. Turning and leaning also feels so much better and more planted or firm? I don’t really know how to explain it but I feel even more confident taking corners at higher speeds. I didn’t expect that new shocks would do that lol, but I don’t know much about suspension. Either way I’m a happy camper and I mainly got them for two-up riding so I hope they really make it better for my passenger.

That's awesome, I've been eyeballing the Nitrons because they come in turquoise...

Yes sir. Autko found the pinout for the GT150 plug and we made adapters for OBD2

Do our new Indian's ECU have OBD capabilities?

With apps like Dash and Torque and an OBD adapter in my car, I can get lots of cool stats and stuff from my cars. Since our Indians have an ECU, does anyone know if it has an OBD port on it that I can stick my OBD adapter on and use Dash or Torque or whatever?

It works great.

That's super cool, I'm not certain I am qualified to create my own adapter though lol. Would work great with my new phone mount setup though! I'd be most interested in a large tach/shift light!

Any chance you could do a write-up with pics or videos for us? I'd be most interested to see precisely how this was done, and follow in your brave footsteps sir!

Yes sir, I could do that. I'll order a couple more plugs and do a picture progress. It'll take a bit to get the plugs in but I'll get it out.

Got my new titanium peg feelers in, now just need a couple feet of snow to finish melting before I can test out how they spark!

Metzeler ME888 Ultra White Walls installed this afternoon

rear tire is a 180/65/16

Very nice job tying the warbonnet to the white wall tires, really breaks up all that black, good looking Scout.

dayummmmmm!!! I thought i was done after the full exhaust, I might have to squeeze the white walls in to the "Fun Funds"

The war bonnet is actually silver, but the way the sun is shining on it, it "looks white"...

probably tomorrow I'm calling Brianna to get a new white decal so I can lay it on the tank...

OR, remove the silver decal and leave the entire bike black 🤔

Tilted the reduced reach bars up a couple of inches. I like it but might still put some mini apes on.

 

[LongRoadHome]

Rear axle didn’t have an E-clip “ring” on the nut side so added a 3/4 inch one from Lowe’s (Home Depot only had sizes up to 5/8).

Made a guess on what size to get, digital caliper said 14.95 mm on groove. 5/8 inch was too small.
The 3/4 inch doesn’t fit tight, not sure it’s supposed to, but it took plenty of force to press on.

I only noticed there wasn’t one on my axle to begin with when I was changing the mufflers and working on the baffles.
Apparently some other early Scout owners didn’t have one on theirs either, from what I found in a search about that.
I was thinking maybe they went missing after a tire change.

I would’ve ordered a ring from Indian parts but it would’ve cost $11.

Anyone with one know if theirs fits tight or loose?
Just thinking it is sure to be spinning around and around while riding.
