Well, the first mistake is pods, especially if they are cheap-o pods. The cv carbs you have carry a natural dislike for pods.
If you need to use pods, then get K&N pods for best results.
As mentioned, there is a thread by shinyribs that explains how he got them to work. I will say your idle mix screw adjustment is just factory start point. It is only a ballpark figure and you will need further tuning from that.
Your plugs are a good color though, these bikes are meant to be lean and so brown plugs are not what a person wants.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
