NEED HELP ASAP!!!! HONDA CB750 SUPER SPORT

Sorry be so rude with the caps lock, but I need to know what to jet my carbs to so I can put on K&N air filters. Can somebody please let me know as soon as possible? Thank you so much.

Do you mean pods or the k&n for the airbox? Also, what year? Different years had different carbs and would require different jets.
Also, there isn't any 1 jet that will work. It almost always requires testing and playing with the A/F mix and trying different jets for both idle and mains.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

You may not need any change in jets.  I put a K&N in the OEM air box, without changing anything -- it runs better, without issues, or changes to the carbs, compared to the paper filter.  Mine is a '79 K, so your situation may be different.

If your bike has the constant velocity (CV) carbs, the general concenses is to only use the OEM air box back:  the constant velocity (CV) carbs are very difficult to tune with pods.

For what its worth,I have a '76 Super Sport with pods and very open exhaust.I have 125 mains and 42 pilots.Worked good for me.I found them MUCH cheaper local than online.The online "vintage" stores charge vintage motorcycle prices.These same jets fit many other bikes that are not as desirable and it helps with the pricing. I MAY need a little more pilot jet,but they (45 pilots)have been on back order and the plugs actually look pretty good.I just have a VERY slight dead spot at about 2-2500 rpm.
I have these pods

I never had to rejet either when I put a k&n in the box. It is the switch to pods that really do it, and opening up the exhaust.
