Howard Scott started with motorcycles when he was 10, was given a Yamaha YB50 in pieces, rebuilt it and converted it into a scrambler – this was the start of a motorcycle customizing, modifying and riding life.
We first started making adventure motorcycle accessories in 2006 — we were then TrTec Engineering, manufacturing the Backdraft Roadster, a Cobra V8 replica! On our way to the 2006 BMW GS Challenge (see photo below) the bikes were loaded; this led to the design of Top Racks, Pannier Racks and Bags and so it started. From this, Scott Adventure was born in 2014. We try and make practical important parts for most of the new bikes and we cover popular old bikes such as the KLR & DR650’s. Always willing to make one-off parts or prototypes.
At Scott Adventure we have extensive design, fabrication and motorcycle knowledge gathered over the years in both manufacturing and riding. Scott also completed the BMW Adventure Rider Instructors course in 2008 and currently holds Rider Training on the Estate!
Durban 2 Dublin – 2009 was an adventure as well as an excellent platform to develop and test our earlier products.

We do regular tours in South Africa and our neighbouring countries to update, create new and test our products.

HOWARD SCOTT
The journey that started Scott Adventure in 2006.
South Africa waited for the T7 for almost two years, it arrived in November 2020. Scott Adventure managed to get one right away from Chris Malan at Ekerold Yamaha in Pietermaritzburg.
The design work started immediately, we started with the crash bars as can be seen in the pic, first off lots of thinking, then layout with tape followed by pre-bent pipe clamped in place. This fragile fabrication then gets a purpose-made jig followed by the real thing .... leading to production.
As of February 2021, we have completed the following products for this awesome machine, crash bars, tail tidy, footpeg extension, seat mod, pannier racks. There are many other parts in the pre-production phase.
I can't think of a better product for my Africa Twin. Howard is always willing to explore new ideas.

Thanks again for the awesome pannier racks! Your racks are a great asset to the bike and will be featured in all my videos and ADV bike posts.

Thanks, man! I did some awesome travelling with the saddlebags and it worked well. I'm very pleased with them, and actually packed way more than needed. What an amazing product - pure joy!
