Why mate? You've really put in a lot of work. Is it just because it's taking longer than you thought? I'm going though the same thing, though my mods were not as extensive. I just rebuilt the engine and carbs. It's been over a year since I took my off the road after only riding it for 3 weeks. I can understand "frustrating" if that's what it is. But yours is pretty freaking awesome. Your mods are elegant and functional. Don't you want to see what she'll ride like when you're done?

Beautiful so far, shame to sell it now. I was going to sell my ST when it kept spitting fire and blowing chunks out of the engine but after it sitting in a shed for a year or two I decided that there had to be a good bike in there somewhere. Maybe ignore it for awhile till you get the drive back

I triple (quad?) what has been said here. You will regret it. Things take time and with the level of detail and effort you have put in, would be a shame to stop and sell it now. You will just end up wanting to do it all over again, and you will have to start at square 1. If you are really tired and need a break, put the cover over it and give it some time to bring the urge back. When you pull the cover off in some time, it will be like KZ-Viagra!

Beautiful Bike,

DO NOT SELL!!!!!!!!!! Your project is so much more than a mechanical hobby, all you have to do is remind yourself of your start. Please finish!!!!! Its so close with the product being such a great contribution to the KZ world, I would hate for this project to go into hands so unrespective hands unknowing of what this will represent to the rest of us who put so much time and work into the KZ machines.
