I found a company that makes such an adapter for my Voyager. Unfortunately, it leaves the top of the filter exposed beneath the engine block. Depending on which filter you install, it may even stick out, below the engine's bottom. One fellow ruptured his oil filter on a curb? Didn't lose his engine, but had one nasty mess to clean up.
On the Honda, the spin-on filter is high up, no risk of it being ruptured unless you really, really tried, hard. I guess I will leave my Voyager as it was designed by Kawasaki -- I am not willing to risk puncturing the filter, while touring in a lonely place. Disappointing...
[Sigh!...] Cheers!
