there is a back story to me finding this page,robert one of the partners in KAR bought a set of 66mm NOS rsc pistons from me last week...we email chatted and it turns out they are building as nearly correct version of the RSC "racing service club" CYB race bike....and i mentioned that i had the NOS crankshaft as well a thing of stunning beauty and a work of art really
anyway the crankshaft is off to sweden i could not refuse the offer and the piece is going to make some history repeated which is always a good thing
here is page with some info and a few shots of the crank :)

one cool part of the story is the guy offerd over 2x what i was trying to sell the crank for........
 
Looks very similar to the CB350 cranks that Pops Yoshimura used to build (I have an old Yoshimura Racing brochure someplace with photos) about 45 years ago.
Both cranks are art; it's a shame that they're buried deep in the motor, where no one can see them...
