The 2026 Scout Bobber takes the standard Scout and strips it down further, blacked-out finishes, a bobbed rear fender, drag-style bars, and a stance that hugs the ground. It's the darkest, most stripped-back Scout in the lineup, still running the full-power liquid-cooled SpeedPlus 1250 V-Twin underneath all that minimalist bodywork. True to its bobber roots, Indian left the factory dash simple with no built-in touchscreen. Riders who want modern connectivity add the HogPlay Media Screen, a compact bar-mounted display wired to power and ground that brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a bike built around less, not more.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2026 Indian Scout Bobber left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

A bobber lives and dies by its stripped-down lines, so the HogPlay Media Screen was built to disappear into that look rather than fight it. It clamps to the Scout Bobber's drag bars and sits low and tight to the cockpit.
Two wires handle the whole install, power and ground, and the reversible mount means the blacked-out bars stay exactly as bare as you want them the rest of the time.
