Thanks, you too!

Sold my 2012 CVO Street Glide earlier this year and ordered a new Scout Bobber a few weeks ago as it was time for me to "down-size". I've already ordered and am having the dealer install a number of initial mods for me once the bike arrives. Will no doubt do a bunch more myself down the road. KZread, and your channel specifically, has been a fantastic resource in researching and determining which initial mods to go with. Thank you for providing such good info and enjoyable vids (I've subscribed to your channel). My initial mods include: 8" Vault Mitered handlebar - looks great on your bike and they gave a 10% veteran discount (Go Navy) Saddlemen LS seat PV3 tuner S&S air intake Performance Combat exhaust (ordered directly from Performance with the quiet baffle) Ohlins shocks Indian low wind deflector and floorboards - covered by the "Heroes" promotion Thanks again, enjoy and ride safe!

Great video! I'm thinking about this bike with similar mods but I would need to install a passenger seat for my wife. Do you have any thoughts on how the bike would preform on a day trip with a passenger, or do you think that a different bike would be better for that situation?

@dadwithabike

3 жыл бұрын

I think it would be just fine for a day trip but any longer with a passenger and you would want a different bike. Jumping on, grabbing a passenger and scooting around town or out for a day - it is perfect.
