Can you swap carbs on these bikes?

What i mean is,do the SOHC's have to use the roundtops and do they DOHC's have to use the CVs? And there are some keyholes floating around in there somewhere. Im still not real savvy on what carbs came on what models. But will they interchange?

Yes they will all interchange, but in some cases, you will need to find/fab the rubber boots. Simple rule is the use the boots that match the carbs. I am working on using a single Bendix right now.

If I found one in the mail box I would.
Bendix makes some very good carburetors, and, you can get externally adjustable jets, for them.
The Different carbs, for the CB 750's  do use different carb boots. The SOHC heads are all the same, so swapping from round tops to keyholes is easy, but the head on the DOHC is different I think.

My father worked for Bendix his entire life. They make many products.
They are a big company and they treat the workers with respect.
My father worked on the F4 Phantom landing gear castings.
It was in Indiana.

From the internet today.
Example:

“Bendix has always been a family-oriented company, so it just makes sense to us to
foster a healthy living/healthy lifestyle environment and to provide the tools to our employees
and their family members to help them achieve this goal. Dr. Ann’s enthusiasm and knowledge
provide an exceptional resource to help motivate our employees and reinforce the importance of
wellness as a natural complement to our overall efforts,” said Diane Shields, vice president of
HR and organizational development at Bendix.  

On Christmas they would give the workers a large Christmas box packed with food.
That was in 1950. I was too young to know all the details.

When my father died his widow got a retirement check every month so
she was not thrown out on the streets.

That is what i know about that company.
