Honestly, once I got mine the only real upgrades were a new set-back neck extension and a travel rack and bag for the back, plus floorboards for the passenger position. I never quite got into the deep-dive into bling that some do. I suppose had I had to wait for it to be built I'd have driven myself crazy with it. Once you've got it and can ride it's not so hard to just go and forget all the bling-bling.
I tried getting my wife to take the riding course, but she had an anxiety attack the day of and couldn't leave the house. Even she was disappointed, but it is what it is.
Congrats, man. Hope you two enjoy.
Thanks man!
I don't want to go TOO crazy and am going to limit my first few purchases to a new seat, as the Scout Bobber seat just sucks Everyone hates it. Apparently, you give a hint of throttle and your ass is on the rear fender. Looking at this guy...

Maybe about $1K at the start. From there I'll probably do a 20into-1 exhaust and tune but that'll be next year for sure.

And DC is not any better. But NV - and especially Pahrump - has lots of open roads with minimal traffic, so pretty much ideal conditions for riding.
Yeah for sure, Pahrump is great. We can ride to the Red Rock loop with little to no traffic, we can head out towards Beatty and Goldfield. All really nice, scenic rides with little to no traffic. I don't know how often, if ever I'd be riding into "Vegas Proper" to be honest.

Man I am a bit fan of the Indian stuff for sure. As a matter of fact, when they were started back up again back in Springfield, MA, it was a friend of a friends family that did the reboot. The Scout in particular has a pretty wide range of aftermarket options as well. Enough engine that I can't see growing out of it, and the Mrs has no interest in cross country riding on the back of anything bigger, which I am ok with! LOL!

Your bike looks fucking bad ass! Thats seriously perfect, love the murdered out look.
Congrats man!
Dude, you could have knocked me over with a feather when she suggested it. The fact that we made it to the dealership and paid for the build order... I was shocked and awed! LOL! And yeah, the bike I picked is like 90% perfect for me. They used to come with black mufflers and heat shields but with parts shortages AND Indian releasing a new model, all black parts have been diverted to those.
