    The hole size is 30mm.

    Here are the instructions on Honda's website.

    If you don't have access to a 30mm bit, I've heard a 1 1/4" will also get the job done. I also have an OEM kit sitting in the garage just waiting for daytime temps to drop below 110 degrees. Got a few things left to install but not in this heat.

    1 1/8" = 28.575mm so, if the correct size is 30mm, that might just do the trick. For cutting smooth holes and especially larger holes, I much prefer using step drills. You can get a set for cheap at Harbor Freight. The only thing you have to watch out for with those is going a step too far and winding up with a larger hole than intended. No reason to run into that issue as long as you're paying attention.

    note that the hole for the aftermarket part (not the HONDA one) is smaller, only 7/8"
    I used a spade bit.

    I used a Bosch 1 1/8" spade bit and it was hairy out of control because of the threaded tip. Don't use that type. If I was to do it again I would use a hole saw or step bit. Much easier to control.
