Is there any good Manuals to help me sync up my Carb's ??? I own a Haynes manual 1988 thru 2003 600cc &750cc. But it is more for the 600 than the 750.

Carb syncing is almost identical on all bikes with the same basic configuration. Single cylinder bikes obviously don't need to be synced. But most two cylinder bikes are adjusted the same as any other two cylinder, and the same for four. There are some exceptions, but basically it's the same for all Hondas.
You need a carb sync tool. If you expect to do a lot of work on your bike, including lots of modifications, you should get a commercial unit. There are mercury and metal slide types. Someone with more experience with the commercial ones could give you better advice on those.
But personally I just build my own with a yardstick, 12 or 15 feet of clear vinyl tubing (1/4" internal diameter if I recall correctly), and 80 weight gear oil. Oil is far less dense than mercury, so you get a more accurate gauge than the mercury type.
I think it cost me about $7 because I couldn't find a wooden yardstick and just bought an aluminum one instead. Any straight stick will work, the prefabricated ones just save you time.
I followed this guy's advice:

And this is a great site for learning about fixing a bike, including carb sync instructions:

My friend, your bike has twin KEIHIN 36mm carbs, and if you do a google search for "2001 Shadow 750 carburetor tune up" you will get 55,000 website hits.
