This is the assortment of parts I have left after moving my NT on. It's all free except for shipping costs. I did a shipping estimate from Ramona to Cedar Rapids Iowa for both UPS and Fedex to get a quick idea of cost and that distance is right around $50. The box dimensions are 21x17x7 and weight is 12 pounds, if you'd like to find what it would cost to get everything to you. Note I will NOT seperate. It's all or nothing garage cleaning time, except for the Corbin and a stock seat. I might consider shipping the seats, but haven't done an estimate. I would definitely prefer local pickup for the seats. They're also free, except for any shipping costs. I don't currently have shipping boxes for those, but I'm sure Amazon and Revzilla will remedy that situation in the near future,, ;)

Miscellaneous:
  • Tank mounting bolt and washers.
  • Airbox snorkel bolts/screws
  • Original length throttle cable
  • Original grip set
  • Used throttle and cable assembly
  • Lowering pegs(Motorcycle Larry?)

Not included in the current free for shipping offer is a black Corbin seat, which is also available, but prefer only for pickup

The other responder wants everything but the service manual. Since there are the Honda and Haynes, I'll agree to send at least the Honda one, and maybe the Haynes for shipping cost of just the Honda one. I want them both gone.. ;)

I have the Haynes manual. I'll PM you my address.
 
i will be interested in the pegs.. can you share close up pic of them.
 
I’d love to have the Corbin seat - shipping will be cheaper than new. Really sorry I’m not in Ramona, but is there a way I can get you to ship the seat?
 
If Mikthebik doesn't respond, I have a Corbin seat I don't anticipate using. PM me, and I'll see if I can get to it (in winter storage.)

I had a Corbin seat on my BMW and the seam across it was uncomfortable. Does the Corbin for these bikes have that problem?
 
I didn't notice a seam, but I found I couldn't move around on the seat. It is soft, but deep enough that I'd always slide back to the same spot.
 
I have never ridden a Corbin seat on a NT; I did ride one on my '99 Kawasaki Concours and hated it. It was too hard and way too heavy. I tried a saddle on the Concours from Rocky Myers and wasn't much more pleased with it. I finally realized how many people were talking about Russell's Day Long saddle and got one of those. I got the Heavy Duty version, designed for people who weighed over 235#. I rode that saddle for about 100K miles before buying my NT.

The NT saddle wasn't too bad but by the time I'd ridden the bike for 15K, I knew I wanted a Russell Day Long. I got one and rode it until I bought my 2nd NT. I had 139K miles on # 1 when I got #2 and on my way home from making the trade in Spokane and realized that the Heavy Duty was too stiff. I had gotten up to 295# in 2018, but then turned my weight around and was down to 205# when I traded for my #2 NT. At about that time, Russell had introduced their Sport Saddle. This saddle doesn't have the transverse spring that the Day Longs have, and doesn't add the 1"-1 1/2" seat height that the Day Longs add. It settles in after 500-1000 miles and is slightly lower than the NT's stock saddle. It is remarkably comfortable and even though it's not a Day Long, I can ride it all day long. :)

The saddle on the left is my Day Long HD after about 100K miles of use. The saddle on the right is the Sport Seat when I got it new in 2020.
