That scout is looking awesome. You do great work. Cracked me up at the end with the extra bag on the luggage rack; “I don’t like it”. Haha, I hear ya. Now let’s get to actual spring weather!

Those look really greatMike! I appreciate all the inspiration for my black 60.

Hi guys,keep those videos coming. I've been contemplating getting these bags for my 2016 but wasn't sure how they would look. Now I know. They look great. Kelly's bike is very nice as well.I owned a 2008 America,which is essentially the same as the speedster. Triumph makes an excellent motorcycle. Keep those videos coming. Ride safe !!

One of the best looking bikes on the road. Nice upgrades!

Bags look great on both bikes !

Very thoughtful install Mike. Those bags do look really nice quality.

Love the Scout 60 videos! Can't wait to get one of my own.

Outstanding!!! Those are two very, very fixe bikes! On the top bag, maybe 2 neodymium magnets is all it needs to stop moving around? We missed your videos, Mr and Mrs Rench. Seeing you is still surreal. "Look, it's Mike and Melly !!!!" Anyway, all you kids need now is a weekend away. Have fun, you deserve it! Your unconditional friends, Alex and the emotional Lola

The Leatherworks Saddlebags are extremely well made, IMHO just as good if not better than the OEM Indian bags. Leatherworks allows for a lot of custom options too so you can pick a style that suits. Made in USA! Did the KZread channel name change because Melly and I want to post videos of various things not just motorcycles and such. The name Rench Ranch was a bit of an inside joke but seems to fit. We love it even though in reality we don’t live on a Ranch! LOL We just don’t take ourselves all that serious! 🤣 As always thanks for watching and being great friends! Cheers! Mike & Melly

Thank you for these installs I've been looking at getting a brand new bike and was torn between a supermoto or a cruiser, cruiser selection was a toss up between this and harley Davidson sportster 1200xl. I think these videos have helped me decide on this one. Thanks!

Rench Ranch thanks bad news come today that I'm being laid off cant budget it right now but ill be sure to start putting videos on the channel once i get it, thanks for the response most channels dont respond

I like the way those bags work, look, and attach to the bike. Unfortunately I don't see anything for the 2018 Bobber model. The bags you can purchase from Indian look like wallet size and are way expensive for what you get. The spacing of the fender strut holes may be the same, but are at a different angle than the scout or sixty. Anyway, bike looks awesome! They both do!!

Wow you did this over 4 years ago...but I just found it and glad I did. I bought one of Leatherworks tool bags and was so impressed with quality of leather and craftsmanship I decided to go with the same setup you have except the smaller 225 saddlebags. Thanks for the excellent tips on install. I was a bit concerned with the easy brackets but after watching your video they seem well made. Do you still have this bike w/ same bag setup? If so how are they holding up after a few years? Beautiful bikes in the garage! Thanks again.

Very well done. I would like to know where to purchase the rear rack and side Indian name plates if you could please let me know. Thanks!!

Thanks for these vids! I have a 2016 Scout. I am curious about your swing arm bag........can you give me buying info, and share how you installed it? Thanks so much!

hey a Canadian fan jean here,enjoyed the Barney project ..well at least up to part 14 hmm or was the last one 15 ? but then nothing more folks .. But we can see Barney in the background looks like work continued on without video documentation ..hmm not happy about that guys.lol.but Barney does look good ,for me im not to partial to that pipe but thats just me. but good to see you guys back .

So it clears the 2 into 1 exhaust. Any idea if the bag would clear the stock exhaust?

Nice

What kind of motorcycle does she have? It really looks nice.

what the name of that little bag on the left from your video pic? I'm looking for one for my octane but I'm sure scout is almost the same

I have the same question as Mad Cannon. I am ready to do this but wondered how they will fit with stock exhaust.

After looking at the bike I think they would fit. Since you have to drill them to mount the Easy Brackets you can always adjust the position to get them to fit. Thanks for watching! Mike

Oh wait i just realized as i watch to the end the bike i was looking art want Barney but another bike ..why would she do that get another bike ? what she have enough fiddling around with the rebel?

Hey, thanks for the ideas and videos. I also have the Scout Sixty. Do you know the brand of swing arm bag you used?

@RenchRanch

It's a Willie & Max. I used the mounting holes for the lower belt guard with longer bolts, stand-offs, and a aluminum bar that was drilled to give me something to strap the swing arm bag to. I also have the Scout Bobber belt guard which is metal and has "holes", again to give me something to strap the bag to. It fits right where the shock is, doesn't hit the belt, and I can still get to the side stand. Thanks for watching. Mike

She loves it. Just wish the weather was better so Mel can get more seat time. For her, in some ways the bigger bike is much easier to ride and handle and in other ways it more difficult. Overall she just loves riding it. Who wouldn't, the EPCO drag pipes sound great! Puts a giggle into Melly every time she blips the throttle! Cheers! Mike & Melly

Hiya nice bike Do you have a link for the luggage rack Please

Also, are these the Leatherworks 103 Pony express bags?

whats the distance between the whole brakets?

I wish you showed more of that bike with those bags on it, I got a few glimpses of it and they were quick, that's like sex with no orgasm I might consider getting those to replace the larger viking bags I bought, but I would like to see more of how they look look on the Scout, from what I could see they look very neat clean streamlined and not as big and bulky

Hey Micheal, I noticed you didn't mention the new swing arm bag. Did you change your mind? I've mounted stuff before and realized on long rides it wouldn't work anymore and took it off too ... Thank you for all of your awe inspiring moto videos. You've given me helpful ideas on my 16'. You really have an eye for what looks good, and what doesn't. I can't wait to see more projects . Also , how comfy is the seat been after riding on it around a year or so? If it's good I might buy it . Thank u mike 😎

My swing arm bag is still there. The Leatherworks Pony Express Saddlebags work just fine with the swing arm bag with no issues. The Sissybar Bag is just for the upper rack. Just have to noodle out a way to mount it. I think that I will use some velcro buckle straps instead of the provided leather strap. It may require I modify the little bag but no worries. The 1920's solo seat is plenty comfy but everyone's different so you will just have to give it a try at an Indian dealer if they have one installed. Thanks for watching. Mike

Rench Ranch Hey buddy , thanks for the input on the solo seat . I bought one this week. I think because it's wider the weight is more spread out, it makes it surprisingly comfortable. Think I'm gonna try the Klock Werks Klip Hander bars next , you can fully rider adjust them... Keep up the videos Later bro 👍

Nice saddle bags, cool quick release setup, btw... where can I get those brackets? I just my viking saddle bags and wondering where could I buy those easy release brackets for Indian Scout Sixty. Thanks, appreciate any help.

I got mine directly from The Leatherworks who made my saddlebags. The attachment system is from Easy Brackets. You'd have to Google to see who's their retail distributor. I am not sure if they have their own website sales. For sure Leatherworks carries them as both my 2016 Scout Sixty and my wife's 2007 Triumph Speedmaster have them. Thanks for watching. Mike

I didn't get a chance to make a video of it, but it's an Eagle Lights Halo LED Projector Light. Just Google Eagle Lights and you'll find their webpage. It's a complete assembly that replaces the factory headlight bucket. Plugs right in. On the Scout Sixty, the headlight ring is a bit tight due to the paint. So you may have to file the inner part of the ring to get it to fit over then headlight properly. If you have the bigger 1133 Scout, the ring will drop right over. Thanks for watching. Mike

The Leatherworks Saddlebags are sold as pairs. The Easy Brackets are sold separately. You can specify if you have existing factory passenger seat & backrest as the Easy Brackets can be ordered for either. Leatherworks will ask you to specify that on the order. They are far less expensive than the factory saddlebags and you can customize them to you taste. Thanks for watching! Mike

your wife is living proof thats as a man its better to be lucky than good lookin

Which bag# is that? There are several Pony Express sizes. I'm running stock exhaust so I looks like I will need the 303+2 at 10" high & 15" long. My wife says I should pay the $10 extra and get the 7" deep bags rather than the standard 5" deep. What the dimensions of yours?

I have the Leatherworks Pony Express 103 Saddle Bags (and a Willie & Max Swing Arm Bag with custom mounts I made). They measure 12"x13.5"x 5" (H x L x D). I wanted the narrower ones as I don't do long distance riding on my Scout Sixty. If your using the Easy Brackets you will have room to adjust the fit as you have to drill the holes. If you really want to know how much room you'll have, cut a flat piece of cardboard to the dimensions of the bag (minus the depth). Then hold it up on the exhaust side. That is what I did before I ordered my bags. Thanks for watching! Mike

Not even. it's basically standing out the thickness of the Easy Bracket. Now if your not using a factory passenger back rest (i.e. solo seat) then the Easy Bracket sits closer to the bike. If you have the other situation you need to order the correct version of Easy Bracket. I think in that case it will have more gap. Honestly it's pretty tight to the bike considering it's easily removable. Cheers!

Easy brackets clear belt guard width wise? (Looking down from top of bike would be x axis)

@RenchRanch

Yes, they clear it easily. They don't mount 90deg to the bolts, so the bags hang at a slight outward angle. As you get further down towards the belt guard, the bags angle away. I have zero issues with clearance. They work great. Thanks for watching, Cheers! Mike
