Will Brophy Rise Adapter part # HT5R Fit Curt Hitch Installed on 2010 Honda Accord

Question:

I have a hitch purchase from your website code c11085 and installed to my 2010 Honda Accord Sedan. I wanted to know if this adaptor will fit perfectly to the hitch without hitting the bumper of the car. I made a mistake purchasing the straight adaptor code number MT70032 which it made the bike rack lower to the ground. Also can you explain to me that 50 of the tounge weight will be rejoice, which tounge weight should I follow if I install this adaptor the to be cut by 50, the hitch or the adaptor? My bike rack is about 60lbs do you think I can still put 2 mountain bikes on my rack ,if each bike weights say 30lbs.

You would just barely have the clearance to install the Hitch Adapter, but it will fit. I checked the dimensions the Curt hitch # C11085 had when installed on a 2010 Honda Accord like yours with the dimensions of the adapter and there is room.

The tongue weight rating of your hitch after the adapter is installed will be 100 lbs since the adapter would reduce it down to that. That means that as long as your bike rack weighs less than 40 lbs you would be within capacity.

Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
