If you are looking for just the locking hitch pin for your XTC-2, part # S64670, I recommend the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin, part # S64029. This hitch pin secures both 1-1/4 and 2 inch Swagman carriers. This pin has triple chrome plating and includes 2 keys.

If you need the hitch pin lock and the added security of a cable lock to secure the bike to the carrier I recommend part # S64031. This set includes the hitch pin lock and a 10 mm steel cable that threads through the bike frame and attaches to the hitch pin.

I have attached links to product reviews for both of these items you can check out.
