I like how clean this bike is. You've come a long way on such a project. Impressive nonetheless. If I had room for another bike I'd almost be tempted to take it for that price.
Don't give up just yet. If it's one thing I've learned, some of the most satisfying projects done are the ones you deal with, think you have all figured out, they throw back in your face, you get it fixed, and enjoy the hell out of it.
I have several cars, one of them was a project I resurrected from sitting for 10 years in eugene, oregon. Within 4 months the car was back on the road. I started refinishing the car building it for trackdays. I got so far, made SO MUCH progress.
One day the car gets vandalized. My gauges didn't work so I had no way of knowing what happened to it, but someone had drained the oil out of it to be an ass, I found out who it was... anyway, long story short - overheated, warped the head and blew a head gasket to top it off. All the work down the drain.
For a while... i gave up, was ready to list it for sale. Didn't feel like dealing with it. My wife said "No, you finish it, you started it, and I know you'll enjoy it."
I'm now almost done with an engine rebuild, many goodies, and it's almost ready for the season. I look back, I'm so glad I kept going.
Don't give up
