a few easy mods and these things handle great, i've a done quite a bit of them on my 650 and the only real issue i have is ground clearance

yep, it has cv carbs, and if the pods are the right size then they'll work - you may have to fiddle with the jetting though especially if that muffler is less restrictive than stock.
just make sure that the pods don't block any of air inlets on the carb, some of the cheaper pods ppl have installed have led to a poor running engine because they partially or completely blocked some air passages.
