Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Honda Accord Coupe
Question:
I have a yakima holdup 2 with a 2inch base. I have two vehicles. One has a 2inch receiver and the other is a 2005 honda accord coupe. I cant find a 2inch trailer hitch for the honda only 1 1/4. The instructions say to not use adapters. Can you recommend a solution

I wish there was a way to install a 2 inch hitch on your Accord but the larger hitch sizes are only found on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs.
Plus the Yakima 1-1/4 inch bike racks don't fit Class I hitches like what your vehicle would have. Only hitch solution will be to go with a hitch and bike rack that both fit your vehicle.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Roadway 2 part # TH912XTR. It can be used on both a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch. I think this would be your best solution. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
Then for a hitch you would need the Draw Tite part # 24787 which is a confirmed fit.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
