The anti-sway cradle will still work. The rubber strap for the anti sway strap can be attached at any place on the seat post down tube. Using a frame adapter bar won't affect that fit, as you can see in the photo I've provided.

As far as frame adapters go, we really like the # 64005 from Swagman because it's the easiest to use adapter bar we offer.

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…
