Recommended Solution for Carrying Kuat Transfer V2 with 2" Shank in 1-1/4" Receiver

I have a 2 “ Kuat V2 transfer bike rack but my vehicle hitch has a 1.25 “ receiver. Is there a Kuat adapter available that I can use make this work?

I have a solution for you, but there isn't anything specific for Kuat racks or made by Kuat. Howver, the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD will work to allow you to carry a bike rack with a 2" hitch. It should be noted that using a hitch adapter like this reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50%, so if your vehicle only has a 200-lbs tongue weight capacity it will be reduced to 100-lbs for bikes and carriers.
I've linked a review video of this adapter for you to check out, as well.
