- I have a solution for you to use your Kuat Transfer 2 bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank in a 2" receiver, but the # D101 will not fit on the Transfer 2 or any other first generation Kuat rack. Instead, I recommend using the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02, which will reduce your 2" hitch down to a 1-1/4" that will fit the shank of the Transfer 2.
