This is exactly what I needed. I bought a slightly used Yakima bike rack that was made to fit a 1 1/4 hitch. This adapter worked perfectly to convert the 1 1/14 to fit my 2 inch hitch. Couldn't be happier. 283448

I bought a Yakima doubledown bike rack from someone off a local buy/sell app . After trying to attach it to my tow hitch I noticed it was missing a few things... So I got online and found etrailer and they had exactly what I needed. Very happy with the purchase. 654749

All aspects of my experience with ETrailer were perfect. The website is easy to negotiate and the search is easy to use. A big plus is the pictures of the products. This confirmed I had the correct hitch adapter. Ordering is easy and secure and my item was fairly priced. Finally, delivery was fast and on the promised date. All components of my ordered product were included and in perfect condition. 647109

I bought a used Yakima bike hitch rack. This part looked very beat-up. I was worried that I couldn't find this piece. So, I'm glad etrailer had it. 605215

Perfect fit with a Curt 2" hitch and a used Yakima Doubledown 4 bike rack I picked up that didn't have the 2" adapter anymore. I tried a generic from Amazon, which didn't work well, so then bought this. Looks to be solid quality, and is a perfect fit. 599061

by: Velma10/28/2018
It did fit on my Saris bike rack, but I did have to drill an additional hole on the shaft to get the small screw in that locked down the adaptor piece. Once that was done the large holes lined up perfectly so that every time I need to put the rack into my trail hitch there was no frustration when lining up the holes. And from now on I won't be leaving the shank adaptor in the hitch! It's permanently attached! 578175

If you've got a compatible Yakima rack, this is the adapter you want. There are other adapters from the discound hardware store or the trailer rental place which will work, but they're heavy and theyre 2 bolt solutions. The Yak adapter is lighter and a one bolt solution. One less point of failure. First slide on the sleeve which asthetically converts the 1.25" shank to look like a 2" shank. Then slide on the adapter and anchor it with the set screw. Boom, done! 560640

Product works fine, but mine shipped without the screw or hex wrench shown. Just know, if you buy it, you may have to purchase the screw. The screw needed is a 1/4-20 X 1/2" button head. Would have been 5-stars had I not had to drive to the hardware store to buy a screw to use the adapter. 557162
Comments
The adapter worked out well, with no rattle or movement when the rack is properly installed. No issues, It just does what its supposed to.

Worked perfectly with older Yakima bike rack. etrailer shipped fast and really appreciate that. We ordered a hitch assembly for a Sienna van from etrailer last year and it arrived fast as well. The hardest part was finding someone to install it and were lucky to find a good mechanic to help us out. I wouldn't hesitate ordering from etrailer again - they haave great customer service, fast shipping, and their products are good quality! 435346

- Replacement Tongue To Adapt Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack To 2 Inch Receiver CompatibleFor your Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" Hitches - Platform Style - Tilting # Y02445, the Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter for Yakima Carriers # Y8890174 will not work according to my contact at Yakima. Instead you would need the Replacement Tongue for Yakima HoldUp Bike Racks # 8880580 which will also allow you the ability to expand the rack using the Plus 2 2-Bike Add-On for Yakima HoldUp for 2" Hitches # Y02446 if you desire.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Shank For Yakima HoldUp Bike Carrier To Use In 2-Inch Trailer HitchI have a solution for you but the Replacement Hitch Adapter # Y8890174 will not work for your Yakima Holdup # Y02445. We have the 2-inch replacement tongue you can install on your bike carrier. It is part # 8880580. Or, if you prefer to replace the spine and tongue on the bike carrier we also have that available. That is part # 8890277.
view full answer... - How to Convert Yakima HoldUp for 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receivers to Fit 2 Inch Hitch ReceiversThe Hitch Adapter # Y8890174 is for the Flipside, DoubleDown, and StickUp bike carriers. It's a direct replacement part for the adapter that was included with those racks. The HoldUp doesn't have a model that fits both a 1-1/4 inch and a 2 inch using an adapter. It has two different models, one for 2 inch hitches, # Y02443, and one for 1-1/4 inch hitches, # Y02445. To convert the HoldUp from a 1-1/4 inch to a 2 inch you can replace the spine using # 8890277. Or to convert it the...
view full answer... - Will The Yakima Replacement 2 Inch Hitch Adapter, # Y8890174, Fit A Older Yakima 4 Bike RackThe 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...
view full answer... - How Does the 2 inch Adapter Attach to the Yakima DoubleDown Bike RackYour Yakima DoubleDown part # Y02424 did come with a 2 inch adapter like the part # Y8890174 that you ordered. The adapter is held in place on the shank of your rack with an Allen bolt. You would just need to line up the bolt holes and tighten the bolt into the adapter and you would be good to go. At the 18 second mark of the video I attached you can see how the adapter installs.
view full answer... - 2" Hitch Adapter Sleeve Needed for the Yakima HighLiteThe Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter # Y8890174 is compatible with Yakima Flipside, DoubleDown and StickUp Bike Carriers, so it isn't compatible with your HighLite. Instead you will need the Adapter Sleeve # Y8890342. This will allow you to use your Yakima HighLite with a 2" hitch receiver.
view full answer... - Converting Yakima BigHorn 4 Bike Rack # Y02405 For Use in a 2 Inch ReceiverI spoke with my contact in the Tech Services department at Yakima, who tells me that the # Y8890174 adapter you mentioned is not compatible with the BigHorn 4 Bike rack you have. Instead of going with the adapter, you would need to replace the existing 1-1/4 inch shank with the replacement 2 inch shank, part # Y8880041, which is designed to work with your BigHorn 4.

view full answer... - Yakima DoubleDown Bike Rack # Y02424 Moving Too Much in Hitch Even When No Bike is LoadedIn an effort to reduce movement of the hitch mounted bike rack, Yakima uses a threaded bolt to secure the shank of the DoubleDown, # Y02424, in the hitch receiver. When this bolt is drawn tight it forces the shank of the bike rack up against the side of the receiver. Since you state that the bike rack still moves a lot even without a bike on it, you may have a hitch that is not perfectly square and this would prevent the threaded bolt from functioning as it should. Using a shim like...
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Pin Recommendation for a Yakima Stickup Bike RackFor a replacement hitch pin for your Yakima Stickup you would want the part # Y8880131.
view full answer... - What Purpose Does the Cosmetic Sleeve of the # Y8890174 ServeThere is no real purpose of the cosmetic sleeve that comes with the # Y8890174. It would be used to slide over the shank when the 2 inch adapter isn't being used.
view full answer... - Replacement Screw to Hold Shank Adapter on a Yakima Flipside, DoubleDown and StickUp Bike RackI spoke with my contact over at Yakima HQ and found that the little screw that holds the shank adapter on is not available by itself so that leaves you with 2 options. First, you can get the replacement adapter # Y8890174 which includes the screw. The benefit is you will have some spare parts should you ever need them. The second option is to find a screw locally. The screw is a 1/4-20 x 0.5. And it is just a steel screw.
view full answer... - Would an Older Yakima Rocketbox Pro 11 fit Thule Square CrossbarsThe U-bolt hardware of the Yakima Rocketbox 11 that you referenced would have no problem attaching to square Thule crossbars like what you said you have. The box should fit crossbar spreads of 24-40 inches and the capacity would vary by application, but most likely as long as you stay under the roof and roof rack capacity of your 2012 Nissan Rogue the box would work just fine.
view full answer... - Replacement Shank Recommendation for Yakima Holdup for Use in 2 inch HitchI checked with Yakima and they never made a bike rack called the StandUp. Are you possibly referring to the HoldUp # Y02443? If so, the replacement shank for a 2 inch hitch is the part # Y8890278 for black or part # Y80126 for gray.
view full answer... - Will Yakima Holdup Bike Carrier With 1-1/4-Inch Shank Work With Hitch Reducer # HT02If you place a hitch adapter like part # HT02 in your 2-inch trailer hitch receiver you will then have a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02445 is designed to fit 1-1/4 inch receivers and will work just fine in the adapter. To secure the # HT02 on your trailer hitch I recommend a locking hitch pin like part # e98882.
view full answer... - Adapter to Use 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Volvo XC60What you will need to go from a 2 inch hitch on your 2015 Volvo XC60 to a 1-1/4 inch bike rack shank is a reducer sleeve, # HT02. The great thing about using a reducer sleeve is that it doesn't reduce the hitch tongue weight capacity. If you haven't settled on a hitch yet the most popular option for the 2015 XC60 is Curt hitch # 13268. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or...
view full answer... - Recommendations for Use of a 1-1/4 inch HoldUp 2 Bike rack in a 2 inch receiver HitchYou will need the Yakima Replacement Spine Assembly for 2 inch HoldUp Bike Racks, item # 8890277, to replace the shank on your 1-1/4 inch HoldUp rack and make it work correctly in your 2 inch hitch. The Replacement 2 inch Hitch Adapter for Yakima Flipside, DoubleDown and StickUp Bike Carriers, item # Y8890174, is not designed to work with the HoldUp racks. As an alternative you could use the Hitch Reducer 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # HT02, to reduce the 2 inch...
view full answer... - 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Adapter Recommendation for Use with a Yakima Bighorn Rack # Y02505You would want to get a Hitch Reducer 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # HT02, to reduce your 2 inch hitch opening enough for you to install your Yakima BigHorn 4 Bike Hitch Bike Rack, part # Y02405. I attached a review video for this product below for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Reducer to fit an 1-1/4 Inch Shank in a 2 Inch Receiver HitchI have a solution for you, but the Yakima # Y8890174 hitch adapter is designed to only fit Yakima hitch products. I recommend you looking at the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This product will fit your 2 inch trailer hitch opening and allow you to carry the 1-1/4 shank on your cargo carrier. All you have to do will be to install and remove the sleeve when you are switching between hitch accessories.
view full answer... - Replacement Sleeve For Yakima HighLite Bike Carrier To Fit 2 Inch Hitch ReceiverWe do have the adapter you need for your Yakima Highlite Bike Carrier. You can order the Adapter Sleeve for DoubleDown Ace and HighLite Bike Carrier, part # Y8890342. This adapter comes with the allen head set screw that will secure the adapter to the shank of your carrier and should work well in your 2 inch receiver. I have attached a photo of this adapter you can check out.

- Adapter and Cosmetic Sleeve Replacement for Yakima Double Down 2 Bike RackNo, you do not need the cosmetic sleeve to install your bike rack into your 2 inch hitch. The cosmetic sleeve serves no functional purpose and is only for appearance.
view full answer... - Can Yakima Holdup for 1-1/4 inch Bike Rack be Converted to 2 inch Bike RackI spoke with my contact at Yakima and there is a replacement shank for your Yakima Holdup 2 Bike rack, item # Y02443. The adapter you need is actually the replacement shank part # 8890277 which will convert the rack to a 2 inch rack.
view full answer... - Using Yakima Adapter # Y8890174 with Thule Bike RackThe Yakima adapter, # Y8890174, is designed to fit certain Yakima bike racks, and probably will not be compatible with your Thule rack. If you can get me a model number for the bike rack, I can contact Thule to see if they have anything that will work. If not, there are hitch reducer sleeves, part # HT02, that you can use that should not rattle any more than using the bike rack in a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
view full answer... - Adapter Recommendation for Lowering a Yakima Doubledown Bike RackI believe I have a solution that would allow you to lower your Yakima DoubleDown, but the Roadmaster Hi/Low adapters are not rated for any use besides flat towing. Check out the Curt Hitch Adapter # D-192. You could flip this product so that the additional hitch opening sits lower. You should note that any time you use a hitch extender or adapter you cut the hitch capacity in half. So you will need to determine if half of your hitch capacity will be enough for the weight of your bikes...
view full answer... - What is Purpose of Two Sleeve Adapters that Come with Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter Y8890174There are two sleeves that come with the Replacement Hitch adapter part # Y8890174. The one that inserts into the hitch opening and is the actual adapter portion and the other sleeve that basically makes the shank of the bike rack appear as if it fits a 2 inch hitch. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the two pieces pointed out. The bike rack you installed this on should have an anti-rattle hitch pin that tightens to the hitch tube.

- Replacement 2 Inch Adapter for Yakima ROC Hitch Mount Bike RackI spoke with my contact at Yakima about your older model Yakima ROC bike rack. The # Y8890174, that you referenced, is designed to fit the Yakima FlipSide or StikUp bike racks only. For the older model Yakima ROC bike racks there is no longer an adapter made by the manufacturer. An alternative option for you would be the Brophy Hitch Reducer 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch # HT02. This adapter will allow you to use your 1-1/4 inch bike rack shank with a 2 inch hitch receiver on your vehicle.
view full answer... - Dimensions/Material of Replacement Hitch Adapter for Yakima Flipside, DoubleDown and StickUpThe longer part of adapter # Y8890174 is 6-3/4 inches long and the shorter part is 4 inches long. Once installed on a compatible bike rack with a 1-1/4 inch shank the bike rack can be used in a 2 inch hitch. The shorter part is the actual adapter and is steel. The longer part is the cosmetic sleeve and is plastic.

- Hitch Size Recommendation for Carrying a 2 inch Yakima HoldupFor a Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches part # Y8890174 there isn't an adapter that I would recommend that would allow you to carry it with a 1-1/4 inch hitch. The problem is that when you use an adapter like that you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half because of the additional length and movement that gets added to the rack. I attached an FAQ on hitch adapters for you to check out as well. The best solution I could recommend would be to install a 2 inch hitch...
