Yes i did it and it looks and works GREAT. i took the airbox off completely. turned the inlet pipe so it faced down and took a Craftsman airfilter (the oval type) covered it 3/4 with masking tape (gets the restriction that it needs) put the plastic cover over it zipcorded it so it would stay on and it looks and works great. i will post some pics if you want to see what im talking about

thanks, let me see those pics of your set up, sounds neat, i am really wanting to leave the factory airbox on, this bikes all origional a true needle in a haystack, and i have two! I want to keep it oem as possible but thought i could go to local bike shop and get a generic filter and cut it too fit, any other ideas?

A Honda filter is only a few dollars.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
