I would have. I recently had the opportunity to buy a brand new one (in Granite Blue) for $100. Cowl pad not included, but still a screaming deal from a friend.
Well said! Granite Blue bless its colour heart. I have two sergent seat covers and they included a colour matched bump pad. The way I use these bikes, I need the rear seat for a soft fa* bag (politically incorrect) and I when I ride with out sed bag, I need to get under the seat for its storage capacity regarding my phone. All good in the neighborhood, when I am not commuting on the EX500 I use both my gen3s to ride to work. Peace
