Indian Scout Racer by PJ Grakauskas

When PJ Grakauskas was picked to build one of the three custom Indian Bobbers competing with mechanical engineer Christian Newman and NASA engineer Alfredo Juarez, he knew he had his work cut out for him.

PJ isn’t an engineer, he’s a shed-based motorcycle tinkerer based in Cleveland who entered the competition with Indian Motorcycles to win one of three brand new Indian Scout Bobbers, with $10,000 spending money to complete a custom build.

Turning an Indian Scout Bobber into a retro racer is mission unto itself and PJ knew he was facing an uphill battle. The build started with a full teardown to the frame – keeping the engine in place but removing everything else.

The design called for a full bespoke fairing, a new seat and rear end, a heavily modified fuel tank, a new front end, new rear suspension, and a slew of other new parts and mods.
