Best thing would be to Check with your DNR Game warden etc, some states WILL NOT allow 2 riders if there are no hand grips, footrests, and seat. I see Michigan DNR hammering people every week for riding double. I bought the Polaris X2 last year strictly for this reason, it will allow 2 riders, I chose the X2 over the touring cause of the dump box on the back. the box opens up for the second seat.
