Hey Jerry, the threaded portion of the hitch pin of the Yakima Backswing part # Y02483 is long enough to fit through a 2-1/2 inch hitch adapter so you could use it with a 2-1/2 inch adapter like the part # C45405. This would work with a Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU84FR like you asked about as well. What kind of bikes do you have?

Hey Jerry, how did the setup with the Yakima Backswing and the 2-1/2 inch adapter work out on your Ford truck? Your update could make it easier for others trying to use a Kuat Transfer V2 with a larger hitch.
