Default 1 1/4" hitch

Did anyone manage to get a 1 1/4" hitch for your 3rd gen RX, where did you get it?
All I see on the market is 2".
I want to use my existing 1 1/4" bike rack, and using an adapter bar is not stable.

Thanks!

I do not know of one. Try etrailers.com and look for a better quality adapter. You will get some shake, but nothing will fall off.

The bike rack I have uses a bolt to hold it inside of the hitch. It is 1 1/4 inch, but the adapter plays little role in keeping it steady. Got it at Walmart for $120. It is less than a new hitch.

I've got an adapter similar to this one http://www.discountramps.com/hitch-r...FSdn7Aod0mkAHA and it works just fine.
