Got a hartail, so no OEM air box. I know the intake manifolds can't hold the carbs on alone. Does anybody have pics of their carb brackets?

They are from TCBros. I knew that the stock ones weren't going to cut it. Especially since they had vacuum barbs and were 30 years old.
 
You'll find one answer to that in the 650 Garage Carb Guide--links are posted in the Tech section here. To give a bit more detail, one simple way is to make an L-bracket joining a breather box bolt to the butterfly-shaped bridge between your carburetors. For vibration damping, drill the holes in the bracket and bridge large enough to line them with a piece of rubber tubing, and use rubber washers at the top and bottom of the assembly and between bracket and bridge, eliminating all metal-to-metal contact.
