I have 2007 660 Rhino and i found a bigger rear seat for a very cheap price. My question is, will it make problems for my Rhino, like changing the geometry and stuff or should i stick with the original?
 
If it fits comfortably and is securely installed, I'd say go for it! Just be aware that it might slightly alter the weight balance,which could impact handling or put extra strain on the suspension, particularly when you're off-road. It might be a good idea to check how it mounts and maybe chat with someone who's gone through a similar upgrade. Overall,it sounds like a great enhancement
 
Nice find, is the seat a direct bolt-on, or will you need to modify the mounts? That could affect balance and suspension if it shifts weight too far back

A bigger seat could still work for your Rhino's geometry, but before anything, you should observe how it affects your balance and handling. If it feels off, you might wanna backtrack. Otherwise, go for it if it's comfy and cheap. :) Let us know what you opt to do.

I'm gonna be honest with you man, throwing a bigger, heavier seat on a 2007 Rhino 660 can definitely cause some unexpected headaches beyond just looking different. It's not just about bolting it on
this model's suspension is designed for a specific weight and load distribution.
A bigger, heavier seat, especially if it encourages more passengers or heavier ones, will overload your suspension. That means a rougher ride, more bottoming out, and faster wear on your shocks, springs, and even bushings
