I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Yakima HangOver 4 Bike Rack # Y02484 only works with bikes that have suspension forks. A nice carrier that you could look into is the Swagman 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # S64940. This is a very easy to use bike rack for up to 4 bikes. I attached a detailed demonstration video to give you some more insight.

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…
