I have a 2007 RTX Apex. And would like to get a two up seat from a venture or something when I have my kids with me.

Has anyone done this and will it work?

I tried to search down pre-2008 2-up'ers but cant find a picture.

Thanks for the help....O ya, if it works I will be in the market for one.

While the aforementioned "Jack seat" does provide another spot for a rider, it certainly would not be very comfortable. These seats are hard and creates a very tippy effect for the whole sled. It might be a good short term, short ride solution though.

I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to install a Venture seat on an Apex as you certainly would have to extend the tunnel, as well as relocate the muffler and accompanying shields, plastic covers, taillight and hardware, etc.

I haven't seen anyone here go through all that trouble here yet...anyone have pics of this?

x2 - exactly correct based on my RX experience
 
Depending upon how big you are, you might be able to get away with just an adjustable back rest to help keep them on the sled. I have ridden two up on my '06 apex rtx with stock setup.

I think I found a different kimpex backrest that pivoted and could easily be used for 1-up riding as well by adjusting the cranks at the lower pivot point. Keep your eyes and ears out for it if interested.
