Got them in the mail yesterday. They are exactly the same size as the '81s however do not attach to the back of the float needle like the 81's do. I installed them just to see if and how they worked. The only problem I noted was that that lack of attachment to the needle relies on gravity and fuel pressure to drop the needle as the float drops since the float doesn't pull the needle down with it. They worked fine for a short test run on very clean carbs, but I'm sure the moment the needles got even a little sticky they might not let just gravity drop them. Think I'm going to return them for now. Vintagecb750.com let me know they'd have '80-'82 floats in production in the next 2-4 months. In the mean time I'm just gonna patch up mine. Probably what Lucky was implying with his question.

I think the only difference is the 79s are adjustable and the 81s aren't. As Lucky says, measure or otherwise see if they fit.
