Not personally, but in Shop Talk there is a post on compatible non-Honda replacements.

I had Purolator and Fram filters for my bike. Just used the last Puro (wally world doesn't have them anymore), and I had the Fram with my. A fellow GW biker, who also is a mechanic, said Frams are crap, don't use them. Haven't done the research yet, but don't need it till next year.

last I checked, their filters are made by WIX.

I use an oversized PureOne filter.

I have a NAPA Gold 1356 on my bike now.
It is made by WIX and about 3 ½” Long, same diameter as stock.
With it being longer than stock you can use all 4 qts. of oil, plus it is painted black.

I also use the Purolator PureOne PL14610, also 3 ½” Long.
I use my oil filter cover when I use the PureOne. It's painted a pretty yellow LOL.
