For your 2008 Honda Element SC I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C11699 which is a confirmed fit and has a 1-1/4" inch opening. We do not currently (June 2023) have a 2" hitch for your element SC.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118465 which is also a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in the Draw-Tite ball mount # 3593 which includes a pin and clip.Then for a 1-7/8 inch ball use # and for a 2 inch ball use # C40001. If this ball mount does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you use this hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will need the stabilizer strap # 18050. You will need to get accessories for the 1-1/4" receiver and will be limited to only carrying 2 bikes.
