In the for sale section of this forum, I have listed a XS650 I am thinking of selling/trading/what have you. Had a local guy contact me through CL and here is what he had offered to trade. It is a 2002 DR650 decked out with lots of goodies for adventure touring, minus the road tires. At first, I was really quite enthused, and I dig the DR, but now I am not so sure about getting rid of the XS.

What do you guys think? From a purely non-biased standpoint, shoot from the hip opinion. Keep in mind my CB350 Cafe bike is in pieces in the garage, but it is still there, and WILL be on the road again, hopefully, soon.
And I understand that it is up to me, and perhaps it is not the decision I need made, but I need to get it through my head that eventually, I will sell the projects I put so much time into. I have had a few cars in the past that I miss everyday, and it hangs with me when making decisions like this. But the way I see it, I can always build another machine like the XS again. Hopefully. So how do you guys deal with it? Giving up a project that you put so much sweat into, where you know every single piece was touched by your hands?
