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.

Are the CR carbs really that much better?

don't get confused. The dohc bikes use carbs that have a cv piston...very sensitive to turbulent air. Also keihin does not offer a wide selection of jet needles and needle jets for carbs supplied oem. That is why the cr carbs can be made to work. The tuning parts are available to solve all the problems pods cause....or just use the goddamn airbox. Plenty of nice still air for your engine to suck, much more than it can use.

Dave, you're beginning to sound a bit like Two-tired, except without the pages of BS "science" to back up the claims. ;)
Lisa has logged thousands and thousands of miles on Dash, her trusty 550, equipped with K&N pods. ;D ;D ;D This pic is from her coast-to-coast-to-coast trip in '17.
PeWe:
Pods worked fine on my CB750 K6 with stock K6 carbs 86A. Airbox should have restricted 836cc + ported head + cam.
Long trips on holidays in pouring rain as well as really hot rides. City rides at slower speeds too. Stock carbs easy to jet. Needle height and main jet.
I guess CV carbs are trickier?
