No bro !! Don't sell it.The most you can do now it just change parts you already changed.Like different bars,a/c, exhaust.I would leave it and enjoy it.Build a sporty rigid but keep the Deluxe.You can steal a sporty now a days.Build it slow, make it a few year project.

I'm with Malingerer. Keep your bike and build a sporty. I'm headed the same direction if I ever finish mine. Damn kids are expensive! LOL
