The Garage (What did you work on today?)

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
With a storm in the forecast for Tuesday that could drop 7+ inches of snow, I brought the Scout up from the "Back 40" today to get it ready for plowing duty. it had a flat tire on the right front from sitting all summer but the bead was still seated so I was able to inflate it using my small 12V air pump plugged into the side by side.

Still looks ready and willing to go. Enjoy the first snow of December
 
Almost done with the cabinet for now. Have to cut one more shelf next weekend (ran out of light Sunday before I got to the last one). I’ll add the trim in the spring when I can open the windows and paint it too.

I’ve been a busy bee. Haven’t been posting much.

Got the new Mosko Moto Reckless 80 luggage system. Tested it on my commute for a few days with an entire camping setup. It’s rock solid. Very impressed with the quality. Between that and the Rade Garage skidplate I have around 85L of storage.

There is an ultralight 3 man tent, tarp, a table, a high back chair, jetboil stove, pot, bowl, cup, cutlery, 4 Peak Fuel meals, an air compressor, 2 gallon Giant Loop Cactus Canteen reservoir, Thermarest Neoloft air mattress, pillow, 20* sleeping bag, tire spoons, spare tubes, towel, vice grips, factory tool kit, first aid kit, roll of duct tape, copious amount of zip ties, battery powered air pump for the Thermarest, a pair of crocs, spare fuel pump, and a few pairs of clothes all stuffed in there.

I’m going to do a shakedown camping trip next weekend to see how it all stacks up.

Put 2,400 miles on the new bike since getting it in mid October.

This week I installed a titanium exhaust header and a Power Commander 6. New AntiGravity lithium battery was also installed. It makes around 80hp now, which is kind of nuts considering it weighs around 320lbs without the luggage.

Installed some other parts here and there like larger Footpegs. Also have new levers Dirt Tricks timing chain tensioner, and CR High handlebar to install.

Will be regearing it to a 48T rear sprocket (from 46T) with new chain and dampened countershaft sprocket when they arrive.

Almost have it dialed.


Also upgraded all my riding gear.

Klim X1 Alpha carbon fiber helmet, Mosko Moto Basilisk IR jacket, Mosko Moto Basilisk IR pants, and Forma Pilot Enduro boots. All of it was on sale or discounted but it’s high quality stuff. Looks awesome too IMO.


Finally got the wife’s Odyssey back from the body shop today so I don’t have to ride it anymore, but I probably still will.

Hope all of you are doing well.

I’ve been wondering where you have been. Glad you are just busy!

Why the hell does anyone need a full overlanding set up on their scouts. You can pack all year gear in the frunk. That’s quite the pack job for all that gear
