Default 1982 cb 750 Electrical Problem

Heres my problem. I'm new to motorcycles, And bought this honda for 50 bucks. I rebuilt the carbs and replaced the battery. When i ride it it runs fine but if i park it for 2 or more days the battery is dead. Now i don't know much about bikes but Im pretty good with fixing things i just dont know where to start any suggestions.

welcome to the forum. Check to see if any of your light sockets are getting power without the switch on. same for all the accessories on the bike.my need to get a manual to see where there is power that should not be there.. check the kill switch also.

Loose wires too.... check all the wires and plugs. It's a hassle, but atleast it won't cost you anything but time. Plus it will framiliarize you with the electrical system of the bike! Loose wires (esp ground wires), can cause a weakness in the electrical system (it's a circuit really and only efficent when everything is working properly!).
