1975 CB750 K5 Chopper Project

So its been a hell of a while, new job and new house took a lot longer to get sorted :)
Small update from me, Garage is now finally ready for the CB750 frame and engine coming out of storage this weekend. Bench was built by my brother in-law and myself, only cost around £50 as he had lots of free wood :). Still not the biggest space but should be fine for what I need.
First job I want to get sorted is the carbs. This is the set that came with the bike, from what I can see right off the bat there are a few missing bits, a couple of nuts, throttle return spring and plate spring setting. The plate I just got from Germany for a stupid price, but oh well! Thinking about Chroming the bowls and maybe painting the screw tops black.
Apart from being filthy the carbs look good, took the bottoms off and looks clean inside, I'm still debating a full rebuild. I guess it will come down to if i used a bread box or velocity stacks and therefore might need to use different jets.
The options I like are both from http://www.steeldragonperformance.com and sexy as hell.
I'll update again after the frame is on the bench.

Went through the big box of bits I got with my bike today. No idea where half of it came from?!
Moorey:
Nice to see someone doing a chopper.
If its a poll. Dual airboxes for me. :)
SumpMagnet:
For the sort of bike you are building, those twin chrome airboxes would certainly look the part.

*Update*
Started pulling apart the engine, I noticed the case was damaged as I pulled of the starter cover. Hopefully this isn't to hard to fix?!
I also seem to have lost my shop manual, god knows where it could be! As soon as I get another copy sorted I shall be stripping down further.
