Question:
Im looking for a locking hitch pin for my Kuat V2.0 bike rack. The pin that came with it seems low quality and likely prone to being easily cut off, making my very expensive bike rack subject to theft. So this would need to be a VERY hardened metal/steel locking pin....for a 1.25 hitch. Dont see anything listed on your site that meets this description.

Hey Jeff,
The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV12B has a proprietary hitch pin diameter so you'd only be able to use the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 1-1/4" Hitches # HL1. Since this isn't really the durability you're looking for I recommend running a cable lock through the rack and then through the safety chain loop on the trailer hitch to prevent theft.
