Common questions
Will these fit my Indian Scout Bobber or other Scout variants?
These heat deflectors are designed for the standard Indian Motorcycle Scout. We recommend verifying fitment with your specific model if you have a Scout Bobber or a chassis with modifications.
Do I need to drill into the frame to install these?
No, these heat deflectors mount to the frame using existing hardware or bracket points, so no permanent modification to your motorcycle is required.
How much heat reduction can I realistically expect?
The amount of heat deflection you experience will vary with riding conditions and engine load. Most riders report a noticeable and significant relief from engine heat, especially in heavy traffic and during summer rides.
