Is Replacement Hitch Adapter 853-7489 A Generic Fit For All 1-1/4 Inch Racks
Question:
Will this work as a generic 2inch to 1-1/4inch adapter or is there something that makes it usable with only the listed rack models?

Expert Reply:
The Replacement 2 inch Hitch Adapter, part # 853-7489, you asked about is an adapter, that Thule says will fit TH9028, TH9029, TH9030, TH9031 and TH934XTR bike carriers. They have the threaded hole in the shank that aligns with the hole on the adapter. If your bike carrier is one of those listed, this adapter would work for you. If you do have one of the bike carriers listed then this adapter will allow you to use a 1-1/4 inch shank bike rack with a hitch that has a 2 inch receiver without compromising the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. I have attached a photo that shows the length of the adapter is approximately 4-3/8 inches long. This attaches to your bike rack stinger with one flathead screw (not included).
If your bike carrier is not one of those listed for that adapter, I would recommend the Hitch Reducer 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # e63YR. This adapter slips into your 2 inch receiver and includes the pin and clip. I linked you to a product review of this adapter.
