Hey Tyler....
700 sportsman
"That motor runs gooder than hell !"
Ok ladies, here's the pics. I took the a couple days ago, but I didn't have to upload and post them and stuff.
The guy I bought it from was the second owner. He bought it from the original owners wife after a divorce, he bought it not running, do to sitting for several years the carb was really gunked up, he said it "was beyond cleaning"
and some dipstick stripped the drain screw, but anyway he put a brand new oem carb. on it, and it runs darn good.
The original owner was too short for it, and laid it over a time or 2 bending the clutch lever and ripping the grips, so yesterday my new grips came, and today I went to the dealership to pick up the new lever, and a plastic piece in the back that covered the license plate light, it had a crack and some scuffs on it. He only put about 250 miles on it, and the second owner put on about 250 more, I believe it had 560 some miles on it when I bought it, and now it has a little over 700 on it now.
Overall I really like it plus at 50+ MPG it gets a little bit better than my truck. Which I'm really not concerned about too much, but I enjoy riding alot, so might as well save some $$ at the same time.
PS I'll be getting some new pics sometime with the good camera instead of my phone
Mod list as of now includes some new Oury grips, eventually some new tires, maybe a corbin seat, and some aluminum bars. But mostly I just plan to ride it and have a good time

I'm now on Medicare,officially old.
Man,that's one clean bike 
I might suggest a couple more mods...put a set of street legal knobbies on it & a Supertrapp exhaust.

Yeh Gary I plan to put a set of knobbies on it, these have a little dry rot on them, so I'll probably be replacing them this winter. I'd like an exhaust, but just not sure if I want to spend the money on it, and then have to monkey with the jetting, which shouldn't be too bad.

Dunlop makes a good street legal tire so check them out when it's time for new tires.I know for sure any aftermarket exhaust will be lighter than the stocker,them damn things are heavy
Not sure about the jetting,I never changed mine after installing the Supertrapp.It sounded alot better and ran stronger though

Nothing runs like a Deere.
