Question:

will the HT5R adapter clear the bumper of a 2017 Honda Accord Sedan with a Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch - 2017 Honda Accord. I want my bike rack higher off the ground.... but cant eye ball the pictures well enough to see if the Curt hitch will pair well with the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4inch to 2inch Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5inch Rise on the Honda Accord.

From the center of the pin hole of the part # HT5R to the back of the upper hitch opening tube measures 3-1/2 inches. You would need to have less than 3-1/2 inches from the pin hole on your hitch out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper.

When we installed the Curt hitch part # C11681 that you have installed on your 2017 Honda Accord we found that the dimension in question was 2-1/2 inches so the adapter would fit and work well.
