Definitely between a 1979 and 1982 DOHC.  If you were in Europe, I'd say it was a KZ based on that boattail, the comstar rims, and the dual front discs.  Because its a bike from Japan though, I just don't know.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was a 1981 CB750 KZ based on this: http://honda-cb750-s.456789.n3.nabble.com/Honda-CB750KZ-1981-td3538624.html (that thread shows you what a 1981 KZ looks like basically brand new).

I find the pods you have on it interesting.  If you're having trouble with the carbs and the carbs haven't been significantly jetted it might be easier to put a stock airbox back on.  Getting pods to run right on these CV carbs is apparently not easy (but it's not going to stop me from trying...).

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
