Are there any numbers on the castings?

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

I can rule my bike out: the float bowls are the wrong shape (1978 550k). I assume Honda used pretty much the same float bowls for a number of different models/years. It's a pretty generic part.

Not that the carbs couldn't be made to fit, but they aren't the right part, unless someone's tacked on some even more generic float bowls (which probably wouldn't work too well for obvious reasons).

They look like Mikunis.  They look just like the carbs on my Yamaha.

Mikuni and Weber definitely label their carbs.

They look like Mikuni carbs used on vintage Yamahas. Like maybe they are off an Yamaha XS from the early 80s. If they have a big air screw in the neck they are 1979 or early. A small recessed (and likely sealed) air screw is 1980 or later, after EPA regs got tougher.

They are 83 and up Nighthawk carbs, either 650 or 750?
