Hi William, we have you covered for the hitch and running boards!
For the hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III # e98848. This has the 2" receiver you are wanting and has 525 pounds of tongue weight capacity, so it is more than capable of carrying a bike rack. The matte black finish also helps it blend in better than the glossy finish other manufacturers use. It's also American made, which is a big plus in my book.
For the running boards, we have a few options available. I think the Aries Automotive AeroTread Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 5" Wide - Aluminum - Black Stainless # AA2061034 would be a good look with the newest generation CR-V. I do have a link included that will take you to our full selection of them as well.
Do you already have a bike rack? And what kind of bikes are you going to be carrying?
