The 2025 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty is a phenomenal canvas right off the showroom floor, but let’s be honest: no bike stays stock for long. To get that perfect blend of aggressive “mean” and long-haul comfort, I’ve started a series of upgrades focusing on sound, ergonomics, and that classic bobber aesthetic.
Here is a breakdown of the modifications I’ve made to transform the ride.
1. The Sound: TAB Performance Zombie Exhaust
The stock pipes were a bit too polite for my liking. I swapped them out for the TAB Performance Zombie Baffles.
-
The Result: It now has a deep, aggressive roar that actually lets people know you’re there. It completely changes the personality of the bike the second you hit the starter.
2. The Ergonomics: Bars & Controls
Being comfortable shouldn’t mean sacrificing the “fists-in-the-wind” look. I made two major changes to open up the cockpit:
-
12-Inch Mini Ape Handlebars: These raised my hand position perfectly, taking the pressure off my lower back while maintaining that iconic profile.
-
6-Inch Forward Control Extension: I moved the foot controls forward by 6 inches. For anyone with a longer inseam, this is a game-changer—it turns a cramped ride into a relaxed cruise.
3. The Aesthetics: Seat, Lighting, & Blackout
To lean into the vintage “old school” bobber vibe, I focused on the lines and the “attitude” of the bike:
-
Mother Road Customs Solo Spring Seat: I went with the distressed leather option. Not only does it add a layer of mechanical suspension, but the weathered leather looks like it has a hundred years of stories to tell.
-
Eagle Lights Front Turn Signal Delete: I wanted to clean up the front end and remove the “bug-eye” indicators. This kit streamlines the forks and gives the bike a much sleeker, minimalist silhouette.
-
The “Murdered Out” Treatment: I couldn’t leave any chrome or raw metal behind. I’ve completely blackened out the engine and hardware on both sides of the bike. Removing the silver accents in favor of a matte and satin black finish gives it a cohesive, aggressive, “murdered out” look that defines the bobber style.
