if you could find it that would be great! i just wonder if they would work with a 1980 750c...?

  You can get almost 90 % of spares for your Honda and other Honda bikes by going to the  website where I got all the parts I needed for my Honda in Australia
        www.babbitsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/7/Honda.aspx

        If they havent got what you want I doubt that anyone else has

1.The forks aren't suppose to have any pressure when there is no weight on the front tire,it sounds like you might be out of oil there or someone robbed the guts out of that too!LOL
2.With 4 carbs there are plenty of places to leak,one might be the float bowl drain screw if you haven't reseated all of them but your basically on your own there.
3.If you can't afford a new chain right now,take it off and soak it in fuel oil or diesel for a couple of days,who cares if the o-rings swell and fly out your changing it anyway right?
4.I love my windjammer for now so again you are on your own.

 your right they are hiding the backrests for you maybe you can find a universal and make it work or maybe something for a goldwing would work.
One more thing and i'll shut up.You could always get 'er running real good and trade it for something that does have a backrest!

just to update (again).

1. Had to take carbs back off and disassemble because my o-rings where leaking.. i leaked about half a tank of gas in a week-2weeks. not good. but thats in work atm.
2. while that's in work/parts on otw in the mail i removed the windjammer and got ahold of a headlight assembly and front turn signals to install. I'm rattle canning those the tank and the sides matte black for the time being.
3. I removed the airbox and ordered the K&N individual air filter set up for each of the carbs. (anyone had any experience with them? I've heard good things, none bad so far).
4. I just rebuilt the front forks and bought a new rotor for the front brake. I measured the old rotor and it was at around 5mm. I have new pads on order too, bike bandit sent me some that where supposed to be the right ones but they most definetly wheren't.
5. My choke cable fell apart while I was working on the bike so I bought a new one of those also. Good times..
6. I found a setup for forward controls for my bike (SWEET) and am looking for some drag pipes, anyone know of a manufacturer/website?

Thanks for the assist again and as usual. BTW I should have it at least up and running like a champ next week and be only doin cosmetic stuff from then on. I'll post pics then. Be safe.

new question:

The line that comes out of in between carbs 2 and 3, that just is a vent correct? and also isn't there also 1 more vent? or am i horribly mistaken.

And if they are both vents, what would happen to the carbs if the guy that worked on these carbs before i bought the bike ran the line from in between 2 and 3 to the port on the right most side of the carbs, right below and to the right of where you hook up gas to them?

Just wondering something, where did you find the forward control setup? i have the same bike a 82 CB750K and have been going crazy trying to find one..

[woodsrider250-2]

A guy on ebay sells custom fwd controls for the K.

Pods most likely a bad idea on these CV carbs.  They really want the airbox.  K&N stage III jet kit comes with needles that supposedely allow them to work better.  Take your air filter out and go for a spin...You'll see.

[1982CB750K]

thank you very much for the information. as of right now i have found a set of forward controls probably from the same person your thinking of. also in the next few weeks i will be getting the carbs readjusted so that they are all in sync with each other. i found out that this could be a huge cause of the issues i am having. the person who is going to be doing it is going to be checking them out to make sure that that is all it is. as for the thing with taking out the air filter sounds interesting i will have to try it and see what happens. though that would be something for next year as of now i just would like to be able to get it to run right. (if they need to be rebuilt maybe ill get those jets your speaking of and try it sooner)

I have the same bike as you. I dont know why randomly mine doesnt idle . When its warm out though it works perfect and idles at 1.5.

[Re-run]

Idle issues like that are many times carb related. Run a few good tanks with seafoam in it and see if that helps.
