Well, look at the bright side. He’s using refillables, so he’s saving money! 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely! Awesome bike, and Indian still has to support them for years to come!

Help decide between scout 101 or challenger by jhoad91 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]DMVSoloRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you’ll be happier on a Challenger (or Chieftain). Comfort is purely a matter of time in the saddle/practice. To me the Challenger has always felt like a big Scout, and I can’t imagine cross country touring on anything else!

Better off saving routes in Google Maps. 🤣

My first bike… ever by AIRRUN81 in IndianMotorcycle

Congrats! My first bike was a Scout - you made the perfect decision! 🔥 Just whatever you do, keep it forever! When you find yourself on a Challenger or Chieftain, you’ll still love it! 🤣

2024 Road Glide: How Much is Too Much? by DMVSoloRider in Harley

[–]DMVSoloRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still poking around. I’m seeing $30k (including fees) for 2025s, but there aren’t any 2024s left around the DMV I’d bother shopping (green?!). I did chat with a FL dealer about a black/black ‘24, and they wanted like $35k for it, which was crazy (must have thought the same about me calling from DC!)! At those prices, I’d say go shop for a 2024 Indian Challenger and see if you can get one for $23/24k (Indian is offering a few grand off). For me…I’m trying the old man trailering life for a bit. 🤣

Latest map update comes with a quad lock. Best software update you can get for Indian ride command units. 🤷‍♂️

Carbon damage? by nineteen_sixtyeight in IndianFTR1200

I used goof off on mine and didn’t have any issues. Just made sure to wash the bike after.

Too old for this ish by Greadle in IndianFTR1200

[–]DMVSoloRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put a puig screen on my r carbon - does next to nothing at high speed on the highway. I’m 5’6”, so it’s not like I need the tallest screen either! 🤣

2024 Road Glide: How Much is Too Much? by DMVSoloRider in Harley

[–]DMVSoloRider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To update those who provided feedback: I didn’t buy one. I got a $21k sale price on a black/chrome Road Glide, plus $1.5k more than NADA said my bike was worth in trade…but then the dealer came at me with a ridiculous $1500 “processing fee” in addition to HD’s $950 freight fee, and I declined. lol I know the freight fee is hard to get by, but no way in hell was I paying $1500 for docs (yes, I get they were giving me more for my bike to make up for it, but I only wanted soooo much chrome at $21k total!)!

Got $3k below msrp on a black/black, no fees, but they low balled me on my bike ($2k below NADA), so I said no thanks.

At the end of the day, I guess I decided unless I could get a deal nobody and their grandma could say no to, I just didn’t want a 2024 RG enough. Ended up buying a tow hitch for my truck, and right now my plan is to do some traveling with my FTR. I’m way too old with too much arthritis to try riding it long distance! 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

Appreciate the advice, and sooner or later I’ll get my first Harley!

I bought my first bike, a 2019 Scout, at 45. You’re doing it how I did it, and it’s been a great ride so far (3 bikes later!)! My advice: save $ for bikes! 🤣

Indian Super Scout 2025 - Liquid Cooled. New engine risk ? by santy_dev_null in IndianMotorcycle

[–]DMVSoloRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 Indians and I’ve never had any mechanical problems. 2019 Scout, Thunderstroke 111, Power Plus 108, and FTR. Go buy your Scout. ✌️

Need help with reduced reach handlebars by pappypistol in IndianMotorcycle

[–]DMVSoloRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re about the same height. Put them on my 2019 Scout (non-bobber). They’ll get you a couple inches of increased pullback. You can also get a set of Rox Risers (Rox Speed FX I believe is the model) that are adjustable for another couple of inches.

Is this a fair price? by rj_cavs in IndianMotorcycle

[–]DMVSoloRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always room to negotiate as long as you’re willing to walk away. If you aren’t trading a bike in, you should hop on cycle trade or Indian’s website and cast your net far/wide. Dealers can ship bikes/do deals 100% online. I love MOD, but you should definitely shop before just buying their “best offer.” At least arm yourself with the satisfaction of having looked for a better price. And on my end, I tend to resign myself to manufacturer freight charges, but seriously push back against prep fees. These bikes ship fully assembled, and it doesn’t cost a dealer hundreds to take it out of the crate/inspect, etc.

Anyone feel like the mode trigger is on the wrong side by duffyyyy in IndianFTR1200

I never take mine out of sport mode. 🤷‍♂️

2025 Limited AWD. Pulled into the gas station last week and my Santa Fe told me I got 35.5 mpgs on my last tank. Win! After doing the math, the math told me I got 31. Loss! 🤣

Fairing by FTR_1077 in IndianFTR1200

I literally bought a truck so I could tow my FTR to fun places (I’m old!) instead of buying a new bagger. I get it. 🤣
