***UPDATE***
Guy came by today and bought the whole bike, the title has been signed over, $ traded hands, and he loaded it in his truckbed and drove off into the sunset. Probably didn't squeeze every penny out of it, but life is short and I don't really need the money to pay any bills. I hope he feels he got a good deal and gets it running again.
I've got a blue 2005 that I bought new (from the Yamaha dealership in Texarkana and drove it down to Houston) that has been sitting in my garage for about 5 years, and I'm now going to part it out, and after a while, what's left will donate to charity.
It was running when I stopped riding, but now has a gas tank with rust on the inside, and a dead battery, so it's non-running at this point. I had farkled it out pretty much when I was still riding, it has Remus Hexacone mufflers than I bought at WFO, but have the original cans too. I bought the group buy for the front rotor upgrades and Wilbers shock upgrade that Warchild did back in the day, as well as the stainless steel brake lines group buy. It's got an upgraded saddle, and I think I have the Skyway hydration system that mounts on the pillon peddle attachment spot somewhere in the garage. I have a few aftermarket windshields, and other stuff I'm probably forgetting.
It all has normal wear and tear from the roughly 50K miles I put on the bike before I stopped riding.
If there is something particular you are interested in, let me know and I'll take a picture if I have it.
I'll create a list below of the stuff that's gone when/if anything sells.

As for stopping riding, life kinda got in the way for about 5 years, and I'd like to move on either to a new bike, or get my shop back for some woodworking I used to do more of.
