In order to connect the lighting system on your 1999 Mazda Miata to your RV's and get the brake lights and turn signals required for towing, you will need Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # 154-792-118158.
I have attached an article that covers the five basic components required to flat tow. Before getting the Miata set-up, I do recommend checking your owner's manual for flat towing compatibility and any restrictions or special instructions that they may have.

The Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SA4025F, you attached to your question is an excellent choice. It has a rise of 5" from the shank. The 5" in shank rise should be enough for your bike tires to avoid being heated by the exhaust. You will not find a more significant rise without adding a hitch extender, but keep in mind when you add a hitch extender you reduce the maximum tongue weight of your bike rack by 50%.

If you don't have trailer wiring, I recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit with 4-Pole Connector (Includes Tester) # 119178KIT. This kit will give you the adaptation needed to make the 3 wire system with separate turn and stop lights in your Miata work with a 2 wire system that is standard tail light wiring on a trailer. This has a short circuit protection safeguard against electrical shorts and mis-wire situations. The circuit tester will help you... view full answer...
The adapter # RM-032 is a match for the EZ4 base plate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, part # RM-521448-4. There is no adjsutment to be made.
If you need other parts to setup the Jeep to be towed I recommend using the Hopkins wiring kit, part # HM56200, for lighting. It plugs in behind the Jeep's tail lights and provides a 4-way at the front to connect to the RV. You also need a Brake-Lite relay, part # RM-88400, to keep the Wrangler's lights from overriding the RV's.... view full answer...

One of the nice features about the Rightline Jr. Cargo Bag # RL100S50 is the multiple options for securing it to your car. Due to the limited interior space of your Miata I recommend using the car clips (included). Please measure the roof of your Miata to make sure that this bag will fit; it is listed as 36 inches long by 30 inches wide.
This rooftop cargo bag can hold up to 9 cubic feet of additional gear or baggage when attached to your car. I would advise checking your owners manual... view full answer...
When towing a vehicle with a tow bar you will need a tow bar, the required base plates and lights for the vehicle being towed. Also recommended are safety cables.
For your 2002 Mazda Miata the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar - 5,000 lbs, # RM-020, will work with an additional base plate kit. You will need the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 711-4, to attach to your car for the tow bar to connect to.
The brackets attach to your car and the visible portions of the brackets can be removed when... view full answer...
The correct base plates to flat tow your 1990 Mazda Miata are the Roadmaster XL # 711-4. These base plates will work with your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar # RM-522 using the included quick-disconnects and crossbar. You will also need safety chains, Roadmaster # RM-643 for 68" chains or # RM-645-76 for 76" chains.
For lighting, you can either use magnetic tow lights # TL21RK if you do not plan on towing your Miata often, or Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154... view full answer...
Roadmaster replacement crossbar/adapter # RM-025 will fit the XL base plates you have, # 711-4. But in order to make the XL arms easily removable with this bar you will also need Quick-Disconnects # RM-201.
I took some measurements of the bar and have included a picture showing them. The distance from the center between 1 set of tabs and the center of the other set is 30-5/8 inches. view full answer...
Yes, both the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 711-4 and the Classic Base Plate Kit # 711-2 for your 1994 Mazda Miata are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. I recommend going with the XL # 711-4 because it has removable draw bars which will give you more of an OEM look when you are not flat towing it.
Keep in mind that aside from the base plate kit you will need the tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

The Curt wiring harness # C56175 that you referenced is a fit for the 1997 Mazda Miata so long as your Miata does not have LED taillights. Given the model year of the vehicle it likely uses standard incandescent bulbs which are compatible with this trailer wiring harness. This kit includes zip ties and quick-splice connectors.
Wiring is best done with a tester like # PTW2992 to enable you to confirm the function carried by each wire on the Miata. Wire colors cannot be relied upon for identifying... view full answer...
There are a number of kits that are confirmed to fit your 1990 Mazda Miata that contain all the necessary diodes. I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-154, which has four Hy-Power diodes and a 4-way flat connector for both your Miata and RV.

Yes, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 711-4 for your 2001 Mazda Miata is compatible with both the 2" Hitch Ball # RM-501 and 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # RM-504 versions of the StowMaster tow bar. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster who did say that it will fit but he is afraid that you will be putting too much weight at the front of your Miata since the tow bar stows there. He recommended going with a motorhome mounted tow bar like the Falcon 2 # RM-520 instead since it stores... view full answer...
According to Magnaflow, the Stainless Steel Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter, # MF23684, will fit your 1990 Mazda Miata, but it is not CARB (California Air Resource Bureau) compliant. At this time we do not have a catalytic converter for your Miata that is CARB approved.
I have linked you to our series of FAQ articles about Catalytic Converters. view full answer...

The design of the Curt Vertical Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Drawbar part # C11746V was designed specifically to promote the best ground clearance possible. I apologize but I was unable to come up with any pictures of it installed. I checked on our site, checked with Curt, and checked the web but came up dry.
One thing to keep in mind is that this hitch is really not the one to use for a bike rack because of the receiver design. There would be no way to connect the rack to the hitch.

The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11749 and the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR is a perfect combination for your 2003 Mazda Miata!
We don't have the hitch mount bike racks fitguided because these are essentially universal fits - the only time a hitch rack won't fit is when it comes to bumper clearance but most of the time this isn't a factor, and since the Destination has 9-1/4" of clearance when folded up I don't see this being an issue at all for you. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 711-2 or part # 711-4 which are fits for a 1991 Mazda Miata will work with a Blue Ox tow bar if you use adapters, the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter part # RM-033 with Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit part # RM-201. view full answer...
