Question:
Hi. I bought an NV 2.0 rack second hand, and its missing the lock that connects the rack to the hitch. I have the key to the cable locks, which presumably fit the hitch lock as well. The on the key is 1890. Can I get a replacement hitch lock to fit that key? Thank you.

Hey Solomon. You can indeed get a replacement hitch pin lock for your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack item # NV22B but you'll need to replace the other two lock cores to have all three of the keys match. I do not have a way to get you a hitch pin lock that matches your key.
Here are the parts you will need:
Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks item # HL2 for 2" Hitches or item # HL1 for 1-1/4" Hitches
Replacement Lock Cores for Kuat Bike Racks - Qty 4 item # LOCO4
I recommend checking before ordering if your 1890 key will unlock your cable locks. If they're locked you can't swap out the lock cores.
What size hitch does your NV2.0 bike rack fit?
