Indian Military Scout by  Klock Werks

Klock Werks was tasked by Indian Motorcycle to create a military tribute motorcycle that represents the recent partnership announced between the 114 year-old brand and the USO military service organization. The new Indian Scout was the perfect platform for Klock Werks to build a military tribute style bike reflecting the heritage and roots of the Scout model and creating a ride-able custom to promote awareness of the partnership.

"The USO does so much as a non-profit for the moral of our troops and entertainment during those long stints away from family, we are proud to give back in such a way that utilizes the talents of our team and a great motorcycle like the Scout", said Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks.

The Custom Military Scout is built on the 2015 Indian Scout platform, sporting a matte green paint indicative of a vintage military bike, applied by Brad Smith of The Factory Match. It utilizes taillights that are modern street legal reproductions on a custom bracket to mimic the original military-style lights. The Custom Military Scout features Genuine Indian Motorcycle Accessory leather saddlebags, a Klock Werks “Klassic” seat kit and leather wraps for the base of the Indian accessory quick-detach windshield — all upholstered using matching leather hides. A custom gun scabbard mount holds a Thompson sub-machine gun with a custom gunstock by Boyds Gunstocks of Mitchell, SD etched with both the USO and Indian Motorcycle logos.

The front fender is a Klock Werks “Klassic” design for the new Scout model. The fork caps and rear shock covers are custom rapid prototype parts designed on Klock Werks Stratasys equipment.

Floorboards replace the stock forward controls and feature custom Klock Werks designed mounting brackets and hardware. The luggage rack is a custom one off billet top with metal side plates featuring the USO logo.

The exhaust has been ceramic coated to blend with the frame coloration. The right side features a “Klassic” round injector cover. The custom gun scabbard mount holds a de-commissioned Thompson sub machine gun with a custom gunstock by Boyds Gunstocks of Mitchell, SD. The USO and Indian Motorcycle logos are both engraved in the stock.
