From what I have read on here there has been good success using them. That bread box also has velocity stacks built in.

Are they still in business?

I had an email back from them a couple of months ago saying they would build me a bread box so I assume yes

Those were the only airboxes I ever saw work pretty on the 750 - besides the OEM versions. They help with the open-air-tumbling issue, being boxed in.
On roadrace bikes we always had lower fairings that made a nice big airbox behind the engines, with directed intake paths for the carbs from that zone. That created a larger version of the ones Honda made for production bikes, and worked thru 3-digit speeds.

I have read some reports that the top of the steel dragon bread box, and in some cases the sides, had to be restricted. Other than that I have read good reports.

Having put some serious effort into tuning my carbs, my K&N pods work fantastic on my 77F although it must be said that my carbs are not CV. Smooth, responsive, and great consistent power through the RPMS

They have their place. Maybe not on the factory carbs, but they do well on a set of CRs that I had on my dohc 750. That being said, I went back to the cv's and stock air box on that bike for streetability. Comparing the CRs to the stock carbs on the sohc isn't really fair all the same.
