I do have an option for you but I cannot advise you combine two hitch adapters together like the Roadmaster Hitch Extender part # RM-071 and the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-4 as this would be very unsafe. However, if you need to carry both bikes and extra cargo I do still have an option for you. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier part # HR1450Z-85.

For a flat towing setup a torsion spring version of the Gen-Y ball mount like the #325-GH-1825 wouldn't benefit you a whole lot. You don't have enough tongue weight to really activate the torsion setup so I wouldn't recommend it. So what…
