New color matched fenders and quarter fairing paired with new graphics give the Sport Scout RT a complete custom-inspired look straight from the factory. Stylish gloss black 5.5-inch moto style risers with machine highlights come standard. Machined triples and moto handlebars complete the package, both in custom looks and dialed ergonomics. Its sport solo seat provides lower back support and offers incredible comfort on longer rides without compromising the bike’s sleek styling. The Sport Scout RT’s quarter fairing not only keeps wind off the rider’s chest, but delivers a stylish and custom look straight from the factory.
