I love the Honda Crown Jewles, the RC166 is my personal favorite, but the design of all the old race bikes was just spot on. I can't wait to see how yours comes out. I too have always wanted one, and have thought about building a tribute bike. This is awesome.
 
yeah theres something bout the old racebikes :p got a long way to go yet aint got gazillions of pennys to throw at it but just used the no1 and 2 downpipes from the 4-1 exhaust to make it a 4into 4 set up, cut the downpipes turned em out a little then re-welded back together looks better than I expected ;) piccys to follow, still got to cut off back of frame and weld in hoop, now exhaust is done can pull engine and start detabbing etc thers a company in Czech republic that reproduces exact copies of fairings n tanks for all the old racers, company (moto forza ) bought fairing and screen, just saving for the tank 8) a couple of pics of a quick moc up trying to work out fixing points :eek:, and a couple of the the old boy ( john surtees ) riding mike hailwoods bike :eek:

Polished up the internals of the intakes they are real rough as standard from factory 8) you can see the difference from the finished one to the stock one

intakes work much better when they're rough.
