Ok I've got some pictures this post is the 750. They are the intake, and exhaust cam sprockets. Lined up with the paint mark on the letter T. My next post will have the marks lined up with the actual line

That exhaust cam looks pretty good to me, at least not enough to worry about. Like in the 550, the intake mark won't line up until the chain is pressed down in the middle. I am not familiar with the timing marks on the 750, though, so I don't know what to look for on the intake. I assume you have the correct mark on the exhaust side.

ok, cool. tonight ill pop it off, get the shims and just realign to the proper marks. it didnt look like a huge difference between the two. so ill stick to what i know. and not try anything silly. its funny, on the 550 the intake are tight. on the 750 the exhaust are tight. oh well.
