How to Use 1-1/4 inch Yakima Holdup in a 2 inch Trailer Hitch

Question

Question:

I have a Yakima Holdup 2 hitch mount bike rack w/ 1.25in shank. I recently purchased a new vehicle that has a 2in hitch receiver. Can you suggest an adapter that would best allow me to continue using my existing Holdup 2 bike rack? Thanks!
