Graham - eBay item 380622589785 - 78 CB750 gas tank. The seller is a motorcycle dismantling place. Check out their eBay store. They also have a carborator set for a 77 CB750 - eBay Item 380611708738. Looks like they might have one of the side covers - eBay item 380622589786.
I'd send them an email or even better call. It looks like they have several 70's 750's and may have allot of your parts.
