Anyone have any experience running a Henry Abe breadbox? Just curious if they run better than a stock air box or will it be similar to running K&N pod filters?

Nothing runs better than a stock air box. A stock air box is a engineered item tailored to the engine combination.

Have run them, they are OK, and less sound that individual pods, but no performance difference.

Those are VM26 carbs off a 900/1000, that box will fit these carbs only, not the stock VM24 on KZ650.
I just stumbled across that NOS air box in a bin of parts I bought at a swap meet. I just replaced the disintegrated filter foam with UNI green foam I bought from my local dealer. The rubber on the spigots was perfect and the chrome good, probably mid 1970's vintage, not sure what they go for now.

I have one on my LTD, bought it many years ago for something like 20 bucks. I like it better than pods but you need to change the filter foam like Injected did, UNI foam works great. If you can find one be prepared for sticker shock.

The rubber manifolds on mine are very short compared to the other example pictures posted.
