mate measure the outside of the carb neck to get exact size, then just find a set that will fit that neck size... you will have to take the air box off, but most aftermarket mobs, have a selection of filters, just ask them if they have a pod to suit XYZ size carb neck...peace

Lee, I have a set of 42mm pods on my '78 carbs and a set of 39mm's on my '76 carbs that I purchased from PartsnMore.com at https://www.partsnmore.com/cat_index.php?model=cb750_sohc&category=carb 

That being said, since they are "rubber" and attach with a hose clamp, I can squeeze the 39mm's onto my '78 carbs and crank down the 42mm's onto my '76 carbs.

I bought pod filters from cycle-recycle (http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm) for my 75 550. They are 35mm. They fit perfectly on the carb body, and they also fit snugly within the frame.
