I have a 2" receiver with a 1 1/4" bike rack mounted with an adapter/spacer which fits around the 1 1/4" drawbar and fills the space. Will this work?

This works well with my Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack which has a 1 1/4" Class II drawbar. It adapts to the 2" Class III hitch receiver on my motorhome with two "L" shaped metal shims. Without this hitch tightener my top-heavy rack with bikes rocked back and fourth while on the road. There were enough threads on the "U" bolt to tighten the smaller drawbar and stop the rocking.

It will work. We are full-time RV'ers and I have yet to see the hitch tightener work loose. For the first time, I always feel our bikes are secure.

I believe it will still work. The place you may have a problem is the flat black piece may not sit perfectly flat because the bend on it is not enough. The "u bolt" side should be fine... Worse case you would need to pick up a small spacer. But this thing will tighten down to 1 1/4. Good luck

this unit works great for my scooter rack no wobble at all. what it does is lock the 2" male reciever to the 2" femail on the vehicle. it would stablaize the adapter at th e 2 inch connection but you would still get wobble from the 1 1/4 attachment. hope this helps

Not sure what you are trying to make work, this product will only help if your 2" hitch adapter is loose in the receiver. Do you have a 2" to 1 1/4" adapter?

Can't quit picture this but I will try. Seems like your going to end up with two breaks one for the 2"" adapter end and one 1 1/4 "end. This is a pretty simple but effective device and you can almost tell if it will work by just looking closely at picture. I am pretty sure it will stop the wobble at the hitch, but you are going to have wobble at the 1 1/4 "" connection. I really think that this might even work at this end, but you need a wrench and you probably want the ease of taking on and off without tools.

This is the same configuration that I have. This piece will eliminate any "wobble" where the adapter connects to the 2" receiver. It does an excellent job and I would recommend. If there is "wobble" where the 1 1/4" end of adapter connects to rack this will not address. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work. And it will save wear and tear on the rack. We are full-time RV'ers and I have yet to see the hitch tightener work loose.

Yes. Even if you don't have a 2" receiver, it'll still work. The base of this rack is easily reversible. Allowing it to work with the 2 different standard size receivers.

Yes. It is a 2" receiver and will accept any 2" hitch or accessory like a cargo rack or bike carrier.

Movement of the rack within the hitch receiver will vary depending on the size of the receiver. Even though both of my hitches have 1 1/4" receivers, the rack fits snugly in one and loose in the other.

Yes, you have to actually use a spacer provided to use it with a 2 inch receiver.

No, this is only compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. Adapters are available, but keep in mind, you would be supporting the beefy 2" by a 1.25" piece and would cause the rack to be cantilevered out even further (a lot of stress on the adapter).

This product should work better on a 1 1/4 hitch rather than a 2" hitch with the adapter. There would be less flex and it is a sturdier connection. I had 2". Just make sure the screws that hold the safety latch are tight.

This works with our receiver hitch. If you are using a regular 2 inch hitch I know it would work. It takes the place of a regular pin.

I suggest you measure your receiver. You can either get the 2 inch or 1 1/2 inch hitch.

it should fit your 1 1/4". It comes with plates that make it fit a 2" receiver, but the plates can be taken off.

You need a clear exposed piece of two inch hitch bar for it to fit on. That piece has to be about three inches long. It did not come with any adapters for smaller bars. It fits very snugly on the two inch bar. I think you would have to but an up adapter form 1 1/4 to 2".

I installed hitch by myself. This is separate thing: CURT 13068 Class III Receiver HitchAnd rack and hitch are incompatible, AllenSports declared that this bike rack is for 2" hitch but this is not true.

not this one, this will fit into the existing 2" and convert to an 2" again. It's like having an extended 2" tube to fit a bike rack that uses 2" fitting.

You would have to measure the distance between the seat post and handlebar post. If the adaptor reaches then it should work.

Hi, I'm not sure about your rack, but I had to build two extenders for mine because the rack trails were too short. I knew they were short because I verified the minimum length of the bars for the hullavator and I mine were about 5" shorter. It is a matter of putting together two metal bars with some clamps (so that I can remove them). Good luck ;)

Not sure what you mean by 2-3 inches of clearance. The base of the basket is about 12 inches long. If your rack can accommodate about 8 or 9 inches of the base of the basket sitting on your bike rack, then it should work.

Hi Sandy... Hmmm, I really can't say. I chose it because it said to work on the Element with a "receiver hitch." I assume you have that hitch, as well, but that won't ensure that it will be a proper fit for you vehicles. I will mention that this hitch is kind of heavy, so you gotta be somewhat strong to insert it in the receiver with ease. I have seen that there are lighter/smaller ones. Also, when I searched your vehicle(s) on Amazon, and just plain Google with the words "bike rack for," all kinds of things came up. I count on reviews to confirm quality and fit for things like this.
