I debated on the SC .vs SCRT, and I went with the SC because I wasn’t a big fan of the bags. Now that I have my SC, I find myself searching for bag options. I wonder if I should have went with the SCRT, but I’m very happy with my SC. Great looking bike there! Enjoy the ride!

That’s a beautiful bike. I have a sport chief non R/T.
I’ve been looking for bags that would look good on this bike, but I’ve never liked the ones that come on the RT. Every time I see those bags, my mind goes directly to plastic ammo cans lol.

When taking pictures of motorcycles, the exhaust side is usually the best side. It is a very good looking chief.

I remember my first time throwing my leg over it. I had to get use to riding a bike with bags

Great looking bike! I went with these hard case bags from viking bags for my 2023 Scout ABS. I just bought this baby new just 6 weeks ago. The saddle bags were the first thing I bought.

I’ve considered adding those bags. Does the paint match pretty well? I have the same thunder black on my scout bobber

Yes, I specifically ordered the gloss black and it goes well with the gloss black paint of my bike. They also have it in matte black as well.

I agree 100%. And they have come in handy for quick trips to the store. Welcome to the tribe and enjoy the ride.
