I have a 03 RX1 now. I ride solo and with the wife on the back, about 50/50. The wife doesn't like it, it's not comfortable for her. My options are:
1) Swap the Pro-Action skid for a Mono Skid. - Cheapest
2) Get a two-up (Venture) - Don't make EFI ventures till 2009? I cant afford that new of a sled.
3) Get an Apex - I would prefer to not have a 2-up. I like the Apex. Will the wife be comfortable riding bitch on an apex? She's 4'11", 105 lbs, I'm 5'8" 150 lbs.
Is she going to be more comfortable riding an Apex or the RX1 with the mono skid installed? Or do should I look more into the Venture?
If I buy a newer sled, I'm going to get fuel injected, so the Venture is kind of out of the question because I cant afford an 09 to be able to get the EFI.
Is there an aftermarket backrest i could put on the Apex? Would an apex mountain be a more comfortable ride for 2 people?
Thoughts. . .?

She going to like it less. Less room for her, how about getting her a sled.
I forgot to mention, she won't ride her own sled. I've been trying to get her to for years. You're right, that would be the best option. . But she wont.

How about a seat jack she is not very big I am sure that would be more comfortable for her. Its an add on two up seat if they still make one

You gave her height and weight but we are going to need her measurements.....just kidding
I use the seat jack on my RX and although my lady friends like it much better than doubling on a stock seat it is still not nearly as good as a true two-up sled. Try to see a seat jack in person and see what she thinks about the feel if you consider that option

look for a good, lightly used M-10 to put under your RX.. You can get one pretty reasonably and they ride great...
