KN204 installs without cross threading.

However, a matter of very serious concern to me when I did my last oil change was the crush washer supplied by the dealer. The dealer was downright evasive when I asked if the washer, that outwardly seemed to be of the correct dimension (14mm), was fitted with an OEM hole. Rather than risk using an aftermarket hole I reinstalled the same crush washer that came with the new bike, some 70000kms ago. I felt that the hole on this washer would be OEM.
This whole hole matter has been an ongoing concern to me and is the reason that I chose an OEM rear rack rather than a Givi or other after market rack. The OEM rack is fitted with Honda holes thus ensuring a secure fit. So in the event of installing any after market accessories my strong recommendation is to insist that Honda holes are supplied with the item.
