Of course, the rear suspension setup that mimics the geometry of the old rigid frames helps with that antique-custom look quite a bit, as do the side-mount tagholder and the bar-end mirrors. Both the front- and rear-fenders are chopped, or “bobbed,” to their minimum effective size to create the bulk of the homejob-custom vibe the factory was going for. To call it “blackout” doesn’t do it justice aside from the sheet metal, everything that can be black, is black, and of course, the Thunder Black models carry that achromatic finish all over.Īll models come with polished elements on the engine that mimic the exposed pushrod tubes of old and a bit of bright badging on the engine as the only bits of bling.

The factory took its popular Scout and beat it with the “ custom stick” to give it a flavor not unlike what was coming out of shops and home garages back in the day. I say “new” because the Scout moniker has been used in association with the Indian marque since 1920, and this is the first iteration under the Polaris umbrella. The Scout Bobber doesn't hit a specific historical model, but it certainly adopts the spirit of an era.
