Corbin saddle offer - or trade

Tue May 29 18:26:08 PDT 2012

Drew,

That's more than fair and I'll make a donation to Micapeak as well.  Mine is
a '95 so I'm sure they are the same as last time I checked they only made
'95 and '96 GPZ's sold in the US.  Yes, I'd need the seat latch (I'm
assuming one can buy them from Kawasaki or ???) so if that's OK, I'll ship
as soon as I can get over to UPS and find a box.  What's your address and
I'll get it out in a day or two.

Here's my contact info:

John Soliday
791 Thornwood Circle
Longmont, CO 80503
303-772-0228

Cheers,

John

John:

My intent when I posted this to the list was a simple swap - we each pay for
shipping our own saddles, then I'd make an additional $60 donation to
Micapeak.  In other words, you'd get the Corbin for the cost of shipping the
stock seat.  I don't need any pictures of the stock saddle, just reassurance
it'll fit my '96.  A stock seat (yours or mine) will then be heading down to
Sargent Cycle sometime in late June or July for some customizing and foam
reshaping.

I just removed the Corbin on Saturday; be aware of the fact I do not have a
seat latch for the Corbin (I'd simply swapped the latch from the stock
seat).  Two quick bolts and less than 2 minutes is all it took.  If you
need/want to remove the latch before boxing and shipping the stock seat I'll
understand.

And, in reality, I probably won't get a chance to ship before Monday.  It
will be almost impossible to get to a UPS Store during normal human hours
this week.  My wife returns from a business trip Friday, and she can ship
this out for me on Monday.

Does all this seem fair?

Drew
