yup, Andys right. Both my MC21 race bike, my 250 18 and the 18 as a 300 all ran pods and all ran well once rejetted to suit.
However they were only used as i didnt have the HRC air box. In the perfect world i would always use an air box over pods. The large volume of still air makes carb set up much easyer with an air box.
