No idea where they came from or what they should fit , but they are a little wide in  the 2-3 spacing  for an sohc . 1-2  and 3-4 alignment look good , just a little wide in the middle . Will get pics up tommorow . Kinda look like Mikuni RS , we shall see .

If they are a little wider in the middle they are probably spaced for the Z900-1000 Kawasaki's and GS suzuki's, if they are you can run them on a Honda, i can't remember who makes them but you can get manifolds to run the Kawasaki spaced Mikuni's on our bikes, i have a set....

pictures would help but sounds like early GSXR750, 85-87, the so called VM29SS, in reality more like TM. not a bad carb

The early gixxer carbs were a bit on and off...  Wouldn't they be smaller spacing than the CB..?

spacing could be as red good describes, hard to understand without measurements or pics
back at the time i managed to sort them pretty good on my 750gixxer, but sure, not exactly made for two up touring :)

Medyo , got those special boots for the 29's , i am thinking these will work if i saw it all in half and move the 2-3 closer together .

Sudco, thats the ones....  Here's your carbs mate..  Like i said earlier, if they are GS or Z spaced and it looks like they could be, then with the Sudco manifolds they will bolt right up. I have a set of Yoshi set up CR31's, they are CR900's and are still in the Kawasaki / Suzuki spacing, they currently reside on a 750/4 in my shed....

yep, I sniffed right :) early gsxr VM29ss, 77-90-77 mm  spacing, sir. Red, if you are in the USA, then they are  quite a rarity, 1st series gsxr were sold with CVs or they or off a rare LTD.

Never had a CB750, no idea how they'd fit but honestly, custom inlets stubs are not that hard to do.

if they are in good shape would give them a try tough the quick aluminum filler hints that they need fixing?

That's cool guys I think they will find a home on an 836 motor I have .

The quick aluminum filler is to repair a broken float post . The po was kind enough to leave it in the bottom of the bowl .

Anyone have an idea what they should be jetted at for a Wiseco  836 with a cam and mild headwork ?

Thanks guys appreciate the info  .
