Yeah, that's what I thought. But I hate taking those things out.

Yep, it ain't a bolt. Replace it and don't use aftermarket filters.

So after market filter threads cause or facilitate cross-threading? Bhwaaaaahahah.

Fresh air? No mate it was the second coldie at the Gloucester Bowls Club Smile. And a strong sniff of bovine fecal matter. Let's start a Thread thread.

If I can find one of these locally and have it up and running by the weekend, that would make me happy. I doubt it though. Might go ahead and order it. You guys are wise. Thank you so much. My DIY confidence is nonexistent right now.

Remember... Going through repairs like this is where motorcycle maintenance confidence comes from. Stay patient and diligent until it's done right. By the time you're done you will have spent some quality time with your bike and gained knowledge as well Beer

RE: oil filter cross threaded
I'm still baffled as to how one manages to cross thread an oil filter?
I've changed hundreds of oil filters and never once managed to cross thread one.
I suspect the filter threads were not the Honda pitch and perhaps were for another bike brand.
I seem to remember my Suzuki's had a unique thread pitch.

Agree Tink, Had to be crossed when installing the K&N and the OP didn't notice the resistance on install. Change the bolt, once crossed as Randy said blowout would be nasty.
