First a big thank you to Poseidon who went down the path before me and figured this out. For those looking to add a seat to to their 2013/14 XMR 1000, all you need to do is purchase the passenger seat kit, the 4 mounting bolts, nylock nuts and spacers. I know you can purchase from your dealer, on Ebay and I managed to find Powersportswarehouse. Currently they list the rear seat kit for $442.49 (plus $20 for shipping to my location) This is a fair cost savings as compared to the $579 (+8% sales tax where I live) listed in the CanAm accessory catalog.

I was in a rush to order the seat and forgot the mounting studs so today I engineered a workaround. $1.47 for 4 each M6x45 bolts from the hardware store since Tractor Supply only had x40 and x50 length bolts. $1.39 for 4 nylock nuts and $2.58 for 2 each 3/8x2" Spring Pins(from Tractor Supply).
Cut the pins to 1.280" length and they need to be roughly .380" O.D. The install holes on your frame are 6mm. You need a spacer with a 6mm hole otherwise you will have to drill the frame if you use larger bolts. Why CanAm didn't just use a hardened bolt here instead of a bolt and sleeve is beyond me. :th_smiliefrustrated
Seat was delivered unassembled, with bottom, back, 2 springs, 2 bolts to attach back and 8 bolts to re / attach the support plate. The instructions are simple. Remove the support plate & attachment plate from the seat bottom. There are two pieces of edge protection rubber to remove as well.
Install the springs on the posts of the attach plate, insert the seat back into the plate and align spring posts on the back with springs. It helps to have 4 hands for this. While holding in place insert two mounting bolts to secure the seat back. Re-Install the support plate using the provided 4 screws & 4 screws + nuts. Re-attach the mount plate to the seat bottom.
Next remove your XMR seat and baby Linq storage box if you have it installed. Remove the 4 torx screws and 2 push pins holding the cover in place beneath the baby Linq box. Hold the spacer in place, run the bolt through the two mounting holes and spacer then secure with nylock nut. Repeat 3 times then install your seat.
