Uh oh...Yes...is that not ok?

EDIT: The fact that several of us respond within mintures might be an indicator of what is felt about the issue.
Correct, yes, that is not ok...throw it as far away from your bike as you possibly can. Or better yet, wrap it up in plastic bag and shoot it to outer space.
Or, if you have it installed already, buy a Honda filter soon and replace the K&N filter, as the ones with the hex nut have had issues, oil leakage--catastrophic even. You can reuse your oil, just do the change again with new filter.
These are the types of things that happen when you change oil at mile 666.
I can’t recall an occasion when I’ve disagreed with pdedse, but please don’t do this. Sooner or later, some hapless alien will find it, fit it to their motorcycle or space vehicle and come unstuck. Badly. I know. I’ve seen a K&N filter fail.
And the plastic bag will cause additional space pollution.
The best solution for these things is to arrange to throw them in a very high temperature incinerator so all trace of them is destroyed.
