Hello Lou,
The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # C48FR will be an excellent fit for your 2014 Honda CR-V, but you will also need the Ready Brute Elite Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Blue Ox Base Plates # BX88297 to use your Ready Brute tow bars. I know it says Blue Ox, but Curt and Blue Ox have the same connection points.
Do you have all the other flat tow components? Are you new to flat towing or just getting a different vehicle set-up?
