OK what bike is this? cb750 in 76 was either a K or an F also called a supersport.

Either way the tires should be fine if you get a 100/90-19 front and 120/90-18(?) rear. I think the 76 had an 18 inch rear rim.

The jets are hard to say. There is no perfect size. I guess the kerker is a 4-1. I would say to start about 120 mains and maybe up 5 on the idle jets. from there, do a plug chop at various rpm and see what your plugs look like.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

  I'd agree with re-run, you just need to play with it. Mine has stock air box with 4 into 1 header. I went up 5 on the slow jets, running 115 on high speed jets and mid position on the needle jets. You may want to try that and go with 120 high speed jets.
