Believe me it is a PITA to get the carbs off the CB750K and F models. The tank has to come off, and its easier to work on when the seat is removed . Both side covers have to be removed, battery housing, plug-in cables for the electrics - three of them , then when all the fiddly crap is out of the way the carbs slide out from either side leaving the air intake boots to the manifold in place. So obviously there isnt an easier way to remove the carbs at all.
Just been browsing through the hdlpart.com website and can get a set of four carbs for US$1200 = AUS$1700+/- new cylinder head fully assembled for US$900,and a new fuel tank for US$396.41 which in the long term will be the way I`m going to go including two new side covers - the lugs are the weak points on those. Just a pity that one cant buy a complete brand new motor from Honda direct. That would solve a million problems for me All the parts that are being replaced are in the same colour as my existing parts,  Candy Muse Red, so there is no problem with getting everything repainted.
