I went with the advice for the front mount.
By some miracle, the headlights aren’t blocked. Now I just need to put some covers in place for the bugs.

Did you empty the gas tank on the bike? Front end collision with flammables right in front of me would have me extra worried.
Nope. Only so many things you can really stress about in life without losing your mind. . That’s not one of them for me.

Consider buying some 1 1/2 inch motorcycle tiedowns from a bike shop. The extra width makes it easier to attach and get loose. Also, ditch the super thin straps you have on the bike. There is a reason you frequently see shredded orange straps on the highways. They are super cheap and don’t hold up.

Where can I get a 48” extension that plugs into my existing 2” hitch receiver on the truck and will accept a 2” product on the far end?

MC on front dual receiver would be a lot safer than at end of 48" extension. Also out of the way for rear access.
2 days before you leave though...
Few ways, with all in the downward rotation, welding may stop pivoting. But you'd want to ensure there in position
to easily slide in rack. Cleaning for welding with them mounted be a pain.
Could add another bolt in close fit holes to the angle/tube. Even thru the flat plate or both sides.
Drilling while mounted again would painful.
Or could utilize existing frame holes on other side and 'pivot' bolt and add a piece of flat bar.
Lastly maybe remove rear bolt, insert/drive a very tight fitting tube/pipe between tube walls so when bolt reinserted
you can tighten the heck out of it with out tube wall yielding.
If the holes thru tube are considerably larger than bolts, (only way I can see the pivoting action) could increase bolt size.
