The Indian Scout Bobber is essentially a stripped-down, blacked-out version of the Scout. In the Bobber, the company has lowered the rear springs by an inch; added street tracker handlebars and moved the rider footpegs 1.5 inch closer to the rider for a more aggressive riding position. The front and rear fenders are also chopped, and the cast aluminium wheels are shod with knobby tyres for a rugged look. The motorcycle also features bar-end mirrors to go with the Bobber theme. The motorcycle was recently spied at a dealership.
