Ok, so put the gf on last night and she immediately noted the rear rack hitting her butt.

What are our options for a backrest for passengers or riding 2-up in general.

I do have the lock and ride box for the rear. It does not have any pads on it.

thx

None of the Polaris LnR boxes are made for two up riding...

BUT there are a bunch of other makers making them!! Look at Thor's site The ATV Superstore

Agreed. Lock and Ride are great storage, and may even have a back rest, but none come with a seat. The Polaris seat extends back pretty far, but probably not far enough to seat a passenger comfortably. I use a Big Wes Box since it has a nice padded seat. And always Bolt it to the rack. Don't trust just strapping it on. I also HIGHLY recommend passenger foot pegs. Makes the passenger A LOT more stable.

I have seen a number of guys bolt a bass fishing boat seat to the rack in a pinch....

I think it will help us all understand your problem better if you post a picture of the problem as it's happening... :silvercup:

Amen Brother!

Yeah...the Touring is an exceptional machine! The added wheelbase length is another benefit when riding 1-up.

I have a big box on my 01 Sportsman, and it is a problem on tight trails. Even though it doesn't stick out beyond the fenders, when you are going between two close trees on a sidehill it hits. It sure is nice to have all that room for stuff though.

i should elaborate. i'd buy the 550 in the X2 and give up my 850 if they'd make the 550 X2 with eps.
