Love what you been doing to your bike!

Thanks man I think this pushed me over the hill to do this

That’s amazing setup,I preordered my 2021 Scout Bobber and I’m definitely I will do the same with my bike,thanks for the video process and details

the best tutorial I've seen on this topic. Thank you very much!

My mechanic looked at this video while we were discussing putting the 240 tire kit on my 2024 bobber and even he was impressed with your explanations and skills. He's installed a bunch of 240's on harleys so he was unfamiliar with the RC setup on an Indian. Needless to say; he told me to go ahead and order the kit and he would slap it on with a custom fender job and rear light setup. This will all be done after I get back from Vegas in April. Thanks for another great video!

I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for watching the video. Just a word of advice, RC sends the rear wheel with the Metzeller 888 tire for a reason. Due to tire size inconsistencies some 240 tires will not clear the swing arm and will rub. Good luck on your build. You won't be dissapointed!

Echoing people below- this is probably the clearest, most precise, most well-paced instructional video I've ever seen. Well done.

Is it not worth to jack the bike up before undoing the suspension to release all pressure? Also that belt looks so close to the wheel. I'd be a bit worried about that rubbing.

Great video!!! I am currently installing a 180 RC Component Patriot Eagle Eclipse rear wheel on my Scout Bobber. Do you know if I would need to swap that spacer on the pulley side of the wheel with a more shallow spacer as you did?

RC Components recommends the M888 for that exact reason. Not all tire sizes are the same even though they are marked as such. Your only option that is guaranteed to work is to stick with the M888. Other brands may work, but it will be trial and error, and costly.

@oxouk

I ordered it from RCcomponents. It is their “Stocker” wheel. If you have a Bobber it’s a “Raider” wheel. It is an 18X9 wheel. The tire they use is a Metzeller 888, 240/40/18. Due to slight tire size difference between brands, not all 240 tires will fit the swing arm of the Scout. The Metzeller works without any clearance issues. The price here in the states is approximately $2300 for the wheel and tire.

Dope video brother, so I have a question. I would love a 240 back tire and this video will help me a lot but I want a skinnier front tire is that possible and it smart? I was told that putting a skinnier front tire on the bobber can and should not be done. Thanks 🙏🏼

There is no right or wrong on tire size as long as the rim can safely accommodate the tire size. Handling will be different but nothing you can’t get used to. My philosophy is this. If I spend money on a mod and it doesn’t work out, put it back the way it was, sell what you bought, maybe you lose a couple bucks. That’s the price of modding bikes/cars etc…Trust me, not all of my ideas worked out.
