Thanks for the picture of your rack. Based on that I can see that you have a Thule Hitching Post Pro bike rack part # TX934XTR so the correct 2 inch hitch adapter would be the part # 853-7489.

The #853-7887 is designed to fit a 1 inch diameter tube. Since the arms of your rack are 1 inch in diameter this cradle would work, and then for a strap you could get the part #852-3006-001. For a anti-sway cradle you would want the part #853-7758.

I have a solution for you, but there is not an adapter compatible for a 2 inch hitch from Thule Thule T2 Pro #TH23JV and there is not a replaceable shank to upgrade to the 2 inch receiver. However, you could use a sleeve adapter like the Brophy #HTAD…

I do have a solution for you but adapter #853-7489 does not fit the T2 TH9045. What you can use (and what is basically the same thing only it doesn't attach to the bike carrier) is a reducer sleeve, #HT02. Pin the reducer into the hitch receiver…

The small hole on the adapter part #853-7489 that the screw part #853-5787-02 goes into is not threaded. However, the hole on the stinger of your Thule Doubletrack TH990XT is threaded which you can see in the attached photo.
