The Scout Bobber, a solid base for personalization

The designer ofIndian Motorcycle, Ola Stenegärd, is particularly proud of the tubular steel frame of the new scout. He is therefore delighted when Ronna Norén of Unique custom cycles receives a new scout and decides to modify the frame.

For Ola and the Indian team, personalization was at the heart of the Scout project. Although the scout is a modern motorcycle with modern equipment, Indian wanted the customizers to easily be able to make their changes.

Ronna Norén, longtime friend of Ola Stenegärd and member of the Swedish motorcycle club Plebs Choppers, offers a simple but effective transformation of scout.

In less than a week, it shortens and reconstructs more than a third of the frame, giving the motorcycle a geometry closer to the choppers it usually achieves.

Key modifications of the Scout Bobber

• Frame : Ronna Norén has shortened and modifies the frame for more chopper geometry.
• Forks : A 8 "Tolle Engineering fork are installed with personalized yokes.
• Suspensions : Fox OEM shock absorbers are placed on the back, with a modified oscillating arm.
• Wheels : Ray wheels with Cerakoted rims and hubs are mounted, with Metzeler ME888 Ultra marathon tires.
• Brakes : High performance ISR brakes are installed, with six -piston calipers at the front and four pistons at the rear.
• Fuel tank : The original tank is cut and resulted for a more compact form.
• Other modifications : A modified handlebars, modified footrests, an exhaust in stainless steel and a metal-flake paint.

The result: a unique and efficient scout bobber chopper

The Bobber Scout Bobber by Ronna Norén is a real masterpiece. Each modification makes its contribution to the whole, creating a modern and elegant motorcycle.

The famous drummer Mikkey Dee, owner of the motorcycle, particularly appreciates his powerful sound.
