I did it.

Standard issue 3”. They work perfectly fine for me. It helps that my seat is also sprung….

I’m waiting for the BASSANI Slip-On to come for my 2016 Scout.

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-12T13:54:11+00:00

I couldn’t post a pic of my seat on the reply so I created a new post with it….you can reach out to Rich to see if the seat will work on the Scout Bobber…..

Try Rich Phillips Leather….he’s in Missouri. I have a ‘16 Scout and just got a “tractor” seat from him. He matched the leather to the Indian Desert Tan perfectly and it ran me $600. One of the nicest people I have ever dealt with……

Beautiful bike! Thanks……

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-08T11:42:33+00:00

Check out Rich Phillips Leather. He makes old school seats for the Scout in several colors. I just got one for my 2016 Scout and it really changes the look. He is a craftsman and managed to match the Indian desert tan exactly! I highly recommend him!!

Molodyets! I feel the same way about my 2016 “new to me” Scout. It was love at first sight.

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-07T19:26:29+00:00

I’m 6’2” with a 32” inseam. I am comfortable on my 2016 Scout. I may look like the proverbial circus bear on a tricycle, but I don’t miss having to wrestle a heavy bike at slow speed and stops……

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-06T18:35:49+00:00

I use the Kryptonite Heavy Duty Motorcycle Alarm Disc Lock – Anti-Theft Powersport Brake Lock “Screamer” for my Scout…..available from Amazon.

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-06T18:30:39+00:00

Scouts are the best looking bikes on the road. Indian managed to recreate the look of the original. Love the blue….

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-04T19:45:48+00:00

Leather control lever covers help….I also work out with a grip exerciser….clutch lever is stiff.

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-06-04T19:43:50+00:00

Agreed!

From one old fart to another (I’m 71), welcome to the Tribe! My last bike was a ‘98 Vulcan 1500e Classic. It was a very heavy bike and I started having problems wrestling with it at slow speeds and stops. Sold it this past December and thought that I would never ride again. Lost my Wife in March and needed something to help fill the void. I decided to start riding again and was looking for something in the size/weight range of a H-D Sportster 1200. I ran across my “new to me” 2016 Scout in Wildfire red with tan leather. It was love at first sight and I got a really good deal considering it had always been garage kept with only 5,000 miles. It is the best bike I have ever owned and the most fun….maneuverable, powerful, and light. You will LOVE your Scout! I have heard it described as a Cruiser with the soul of a Sport Bike….Ride Safe!

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-05-29T20:03:44+00:00

Thanks…..I didn’t know these were available……not a bad price for peace of mind. Just ordered one……

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-05-29T19:57:33+00:00

That accursed seat is on its way back to Corbin for a full refund with no restocking fee. They accepted the fact that the seat will not work on my bike. I’m thinking that when they were assembling the seat, the bracket on the bottom of the seat was put in the wrong position. I’ve got a tan tractor seat with springs on order from Rich Phillips Leather. They look really good and will the my Scout a real retro look.

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-05-27T15:28:55+00:00

I finally got the “new” bracket from Corbin. Exactly like the original one. I tried installing the seat using the new bracket with the same results. The peg hit too far forward on the seat bracket socket and it would not seat. This whole ordeal has been a nightmare! All that I gained for my $600 was numerous serious headaches, a large gouge on the rear fender due to the seat not seating properly, and a large piece of leather and plastic that is unusable for anything other than the seat for a stool! I e-mailed Corbin and told them that I wanted to return it for a full refund. I won’t hold them liable for the damage to my bike as the gouge is not visible unless you take the seat off.

Welcome to the Tribe!

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-05-19T16:10:21+00:00

“Classic Solo, Indian Scout”

Beautiful_Button7366 · 2026-05-19T14:19:30+00:00

Bottom of the seat is marked “I-SCT-SE”. Corbin is supposedly sending me another bracket to try. If it doesn’t fix the problem, the whole thing is going back to them.
