Just finished adding an RTK passenger seat to my 2015 r-tx-dx. It has LED running/brake lights, 2 setting heated grips, locking storage bin, and takes less than a minute to install. My wife would like to get out but doesn't like driving so she can join my son and I once in a while now and head out for Lunch.
I bought this seat used from a member, but they are available new from RTK industries in case anyone is interested. It fits the Viper very well and is light weight yet sturdy. I mounts with 4 bolts in the tunnel holding mount pins. The seat just snaps over the mounting bracket/pins. The electrical is 2 plugs. The added rear lights just tap off the harness under the seat. I ran an accessory line from the switched accessory plug just above the exhaust/chaincase. I used a "y" splice to also run a 12v line to the dash for my heated shield. All lines have separate fuses and heat shrink.

Wow that looks like a much nicer setup than the OEM one! Nice.
Yup! don't let my girlfriend see that, she will want to go along with me.
Can just imagine the wheelie! Looks like another ski could be mounted to the back of it.

WOW......that is one very elaborate seat with tons of space for anything and everything you could ever need. I think I saw one like it last year at the 2015 showings by Polaris.
YUP JUST MY CONCERN! a pretty scarf, lipstick, blush, curling iron, emery board, eye liner, mascara, a mirror since they don't have one on them and her purse 
Oh wait I looked at it again her purse would never fit in there ! PHEW!

I'll take a few pics with it off tomorrow. Are you interested in the seat off the sled or just the sled/mount?

Here you go. The 2 cables left hanging out on the rear tool bag are what plug into the seat. A few pics of the seat also.

Thanks that doesn't look bad. I just didn't want some big ugly brackets when the seat was off. I like it

- 2016 Yamaha Viper LTX LE
I am considering buying one of the for my Viper LTX LE. I have the Yamaha rear dampener with a LMP-1 bracket for the ski-doo fuel caddy. I am wondering if anyone has a measurement from the back of the Rototek seat while mounted to the back of the tunnel? I am trying to confirm if it will fit with the dampener and LMP.
