Has anyone replaced the air filter housing with a pod filter?

I deleted the airbox on my Hawk and threw a cheapy Amazon pod filter on it. The Hawk is a horse of a different hue, though. It's a carb, and dead simple. There's no electrics to worry about for IAT, or anything like that. Just a few minutes with a dremel tool and off the old airbox came. I would say go back to stock height, and call CSC and see if they know of a stiffer rear shock that will keep you from bottoming out on the airbox. Another option you might consider is getting some fiberglass mat and cut out the bottom of the airbox where the tire hits it, and then just change the shape with the fiberglass mat. Pretty much everything that's going to be a solution is going to be a lot of work.
