Long story short, I lost the seat to my 2005 sportsman 700efi in transport and I found one on ebay except its for a 2005 500 sportsman. Will this seat fit? ? Please Help

 

looks like it should. dont quote me on it tho.

I have seen this issue before in a post around 6 months ago. Why Polaris went with this new seat fashioner is beyond me. I now put a light duty strap over my seat just for this reason. It would suck to travel 1 or 2 hours from the house to ride and find your seat has blown away.

 

I'm not sure if the air box is the same kind of setup on your quad as my X2, but on mine it is very close to the bottom of the seat. What I did is put velcro on the airbox intake and the other side of the velcro on the bottom of the seat. You really have to pull to get it off now.
