Default Anyone know where I can get a class 2 hitch?

I had a bike rack on the ol gtp with a curt class 2 hitch now I cant seem to find class 2 anymore I wanna put the bike rack back on the car because it's a bitch to break it down everytime and put it in the back. That's the only thing I'm gonna use it for I'm not gonna use it to tow.

No one knows where I can find a class 2? Do they make a reducer to my bike rack will fit into the 1 1/4 hitch?

What do you measure.If it is the pigtail that goes in the hitch it is 1 1/4.

I would find a shop that does welding and have them weld the 1 1/4 to the 2 and it should work for you.
