Is it recommended to utilize a receiver adapter without reducing weight carrying capacity? I have a 1 1/4" reciever with a 300 pound tongue weight.

the extra length of the adapter from 1/14" to 2" is at least 9" long and will reduce the weight the receiver can handle since it is leveraged out. You will also have more play in the receiver parts so you will need to strap down your bike to the car. I suggest you use a cross pattern with a tie down from the top right of the vehicle to the middle left of the motorcycle and top left of the vehicle to the middle right of the bike. This will stabilize the entire situation. I have also ran into problems with the motorcycle coming of the rail while driving over RR tracks etc. I tie down the tires under the rack to stop this. Works very well.

Should be no problem, it just relays the signal. My receiver is the same 140 per...but never crank it that high. I have for four 80 watt speakers running through it.

Hi Kamau,It is designed to be used in the 1-1/4" receiver. You just need to make sure that you do not exceed the weight limitations of the 1-1/4" unit. My bike rack is designed for a 2" receiver but one of my cars has a 1-1/4" receiver. I used this unit to carry the rack. With 2 bikes you are talking maybe 75 pounds....well with-in the weight limitations on the smaller receiver. Just do not exceed the tongue weight or towing weight of the 1-1/4" adapter.

look for an adaptor from 1 1/4" too a 2" just remember a class one has a much less load range than an Item that takes a class 2

Yes it makes a difference in my setup. If receiver has only one sub out connection this is the cable you need.

I have a Polk sound bar on my bracket which weighs only about 6 lbs. 15 lbs shouldn't be a problem as long as it sits properly. Check the weight limits on the bracket to be sure. Love my bracket even though it was a bit expensive.

It can only be used with a 2" mount regardless of the drop. I don't know if they make an adapter to fit 1-1/4" receivers.

Ended up using one of these (or similar):Dual 2" Hitch Bicycle Receiver Adapter Extender Extension 4000lb by Generic Dual 2" Hitch Bicycle Receiver Adapter Extender Extension 4000lb

Yes this should work with your receiver. I have two of them and they work great.

Yep! It will hold a receiver with ease. I have mine holding a UPS. And let me tell you, this UPS is 10x heavier than your receiver.

I use mine with a regular receiver. I just had to adapt the wires at the receiver.

You are out $100. I just bought one of these. That is my only concern. Do not break or lose the receiver!! There is no replacing it.

Actually Im 60 :) - To me "receiver" is your amp, or other box that is in-between your source and destination. all good. Thanks.

I am not sure the manufacturer, most would be 300 lbs ( because it is 2 inch receiver) mine has handled that with ease

I use this with my 5 bike hitch mount carrier fully loaded and have not had a problem. I think it is important to make sure you use the included system to keep the extension from rattling in the reciever and periodically make sure it is tight.

Sorry, I don't know. I only use it with one receiver and it works great. I guess you need to ask Nyrius.

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.
