Completion Bonus Payment for Self-Funded Searcher?

I've been in my self-funded search for almost 2 years now.
I'm close to closing a deal, but you never know...
Given that it has taken longer than I would have wished (read: a couple broken deals along the way) I'm wondering if it's acceptable to investors to ask for a one-off "bonus" payment on completion, to make up for some of the capital gone into the search?
It really feels like I'd deserve a little something, if/when I manage to close this deal.
Any thoughts?
