That looks like a set of carbs I could really get to hate.  ;D

SWEEEEEEET! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Actually, it's not injection at all, it's a set of Weber DCOE' carbs that were common for a while on RC engines, until Russ decided that they were too hard to keep in tune, and didn't flow that much better on CB750's than modified OEM Keihins. You'd still hate 'em though Bob, they were tricky to set up. Cheers, Terry. ;D

While totally not piratical for the street, I'd love to have is sitting in the museum I'd love to have. Even if it didn't run (and who'd run it anyway, could only cause trouble)

Looks like the sorta thing Jay Leno would build on his day off...

Think they pulled it off ebay.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

As mentioned above those are Weber DCOEs. Action Fours made the conversion very popular during the early 70s. They showed up on most 1/4 milers. They were not cheap.

I'd still love to have a nice shot of Russ Collins' triple the Atchison,Topeka & Santa Fe
