I have a 1981 CB750 Custom and the charging system I know is going bad
could it also cause a high rpm miss?
I've checked the plugs and they are in excellent shape I'm leaning
toward the carbs need work,I'm interested in what others may
think......

Quite possibly, yes.

Sort the charging system first. One way to check is to lob a brand new
fully charged battery in. It should run fine at high rpm for a while,
until it starts to discharge. If it misfires straightaway with a brand
new battery, then the problem lies elsewhere.
It's unlikely to be the carbs unless the bike has been laid up for
some time and the fuel has evaporated in the carbs themselves. My next
port of call would be the plug caps, and then, yes, the carbs.

special tool to remove....
