Cruise Control for Indian Scout Bobber from 2015 TBW

NOTE: - This cruise control kit will ONLY fit the Indian Scout Bobber and Scout Bobber Twenty. It will NOT fit the Indian Scout, Scout 60 or Scout Rogue. There is a cruise control specifically for the Indian Scout that will also fit the Scout 60 and Scout Rogue.

The bike we used to prototype the cruise is a 2015 model, however we have also fitted a cruise to a 2019 Scout Bobber, and it is functionally the same, so to our knowledge this will fit all model years and versions of the Scout up to and including current models. On 2022 models, we have seen a couple of bikes with an extension harness on the diagnostic plug. This extension harness is fitted with the new Euro5 diagnostic plug (small red plug), but the original plug is still on the bike.  At this time we don't know if this is standard issue or a dealer fit or part of an accessory fitment.

The bike's diagnostic plug is located under the seat, behind the battery. Check the photos and compare to your bike to ensure that your bike has the same plug as that shown in the photos.  Later models may have the small red connector and wires running to the original plug.  As long as the original plug is there the cruise will fit and work in either case.

Cruise control computer mounting location

1. The cruise control computer is mounted inside the headlight cowl on the right side of the headlight shell. If your bike has a different cowl or screen fitted to it, but still has the original headlight shell, the cruise computer will fit on the headlight shell, as long as there is space. Please read the brochure for more details and photos. The harness provided for this location will not allow the computer to be mounted in any other location.
2. If you have replaced the original Bobber headlight shell with a Scout headlight shell and placed all the electrical connectors inside the headlight shell, do NOT order this kit, order a Scout cruise control kit. The Scout kit places the cruise control computer on the frame (see below), but also has changes to the wiring harness to reduce the space taken up by connectors in the headlight shell.
3. The cruise computer may be mounted in the same location as the Scout, in a special bracket low on the frame on the left side of the engine using the threaded mounting hole for engine crash bars. There are two brackets available, one for bikes without crash bars, and another for bikes fitted with crash bars. Please read the brochure for more details and photos. We have had a couple of customers asking about mounting the computer on the frame, under the fuel tank in front of the air filter housing. With the standard air filter, there is not enough space to fit the cruise computer, however some have fitted an aftermarket air filter, and they say that this creates more space and the computer will fit there. We have NOT seen these filters, and we have NOT fitted a cruise computer in this location. The wiring harness provided with the cruise control WITH THE FRAME MOUNTED COMPUTER is long enough mount the computer in front of the air filter housing, under the fuel tank if desired. We do not know if it would be long enough to mount the computer behind the air filter. We do not know if the computer really will fit in this location, how the computer can be mounted in this location or if this location may cause reliability issues with the cruise computer due to higher temperatures, although we do not expect temperature to be an issue in this location. NOTE: - The harness provided with the standard headlight cowl mounted computer (Option 1) is NOT long enough to mount the computer in any other location.

Cruise control switch - there are four options to choose from (see the photos):

1. Standard MCCruise switch mounted on the mirror mounting post. This mounting can use the mirror if it is fitted. A suitable bolt and washer are provided in the kit to mount the switch if your bike has bar end mirrors fitted.
2. Standard MCCruise switch mounted above the handlebar. This is similar to the mirror mount above, but the switch is lower.
3. Standard MCCruise switch mounted below the handlebar.
4. Slim MCCruise switch mounted below the handlebar. The mounting method is the same as used on the 2nd option above, but the Slim switch is used instead of our original control switch. Please read the brochure for details about programming changes in the computer for this control switch which change which buttons are used for SET and RESume.

Cruise Control Switch Wire Length

Our cruise control switches come with two different switch wire lengths. Normally for this bike the switch provided has the shorter length switch wire, roughly 90cm (35") long from the back of the switch to connecting plug. This is usually plenty of length to fit the Bobber with the standard headlight shell computer mounting.

If the cruise is ordered with the optional frame mounted computer, the switch wire may not be long enough if the bike is fitted with Hi-Rise handlebars. See the brochure for more details about this, including how to measure the wire length needed and how to order a longer switch wire if you need it.

CAN-BUS Diagnostic Dongle Patch Harness

The cruise control connects to the bike's diagnostic connector. In most cases this connector is fitted with a blanking plug, but some other accessories may also connects to the diagnostic plug. If this is the case, a patch harness must be fitted to allow the cruise control AND the other accessory to be connected at the same time. See the last page of the brochure for more details.  On 2022 models, we have seen a couple of bikes with an extension harness on the diagnostic plug. This extension harness is fitted with the new Euro5 diagnostic plug (small red plug), but the original plug is still on the bike.  At this time we don't know if this is standard issue or a dealer fit or part of an accessory fitment.
