05Pred500, what do you do for work? I'd like a job involving a sportsman [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img].

Tyler, it's nothing glamorous. I own a couple businesses - a wireless sales company and a custom home theater company. We are stripping the stock stickers off and putting our logos all over. We will put it out in front of our stores and take it to trade shows. My accountant gave me the go ahead for the write off.

Oh, I thought you used it for work or something. But still very cool. Gotta get some plastic WalMart spinners and snap them on there for the real "tuner look" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

500 or 700 sportsman

I have a 2002 500HO with a Dalton clutch kit and just bought a 700 carb. To compare the 2 The 500 is a smoother ride. Stock it is pretty mellow. The clutch kit makes a big difference. It hits a lot harder in the low to midrange with the same top end. The 700 has a harder ride but the power compared to the 500 is awsome. I love the 700 and would recommend it to anyone. I rode a brand new 700efi and it felt the same as the carb 700.
