I own an 02 Viper with 6000 miles. The seat foam is worn out and the seam is tearing a little. I would like to replace it and I know the 04 Viper seat was changed a little (rounded and raised a little I think). Has anyone out there ridden the two and noticed a difference? Let your behind do the talking and comment on it's findings.
definately buy an 04 seat, the foam is alot softer, sit on a srx seat, they are very similar
if you dont care about looks, a boss or access seat would be a better buy, they make you sit in a better position for taking bumps. access seats also give you some storage.

This may be a long shot but will an RX-1 seat fit on a viper and look right?

I sold my 2002 seat just for the reason of comfort. I bought a blue pleated 2004 Viper seat from my dealer and I can say it is much more comfortable. One issue that I have had though.......right under the tail light and about 1/4" above the back tunnel the vinyl tore in a clean cut from left to right. I think it was from ice building up in that area and from the seat being compressed while riding. I am going to try some vinyl repair stuff I have used with success on my pop up camper.
RX1 seat will not work without mods to the front of the seat. I had good luck repairing my 02 seat with crazy glue. I had a couple small puncture holes and 1 small tear. They are still slightly visible, but are not getting any larger.
