Question:
I just bought a used 2004 Yakima bike rack. Unfortunately, I cannot locate a model number. The rack holds 4 bikes and uses the world straps to secure each bike in two places. It has a 1 1/4 tongue which is too small for my 2 hitch. Would this adapter be compatible with my rack? Thanks!

The Yakima Replacement 2 Inch Hitch Adapter, # Y8890174, is designed for use on the Yakima Flipside, StickUp, and the DoubleDown models.
Since I do not know what model Yakima bike rack you have it will be hard to determine if this adapter will work on your bike rack.
I do have the Brophy Hitch Adapter 2 Inch to 1-1/4 inch, # HT02, which will reduce your 2 inch receiver down to 1-1/4 inch receiver. It will work with 1-1/4 inch hitch accessories.
I am sending a video link on the Brophy hitch adapter.
