Would Kuat Sherpa Work Well with 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt Hitch Installed
Question:
Have 2016 Mazda Miata. Will be using Curt 11435 hitch for bike rack. Want a wheel mount bike rack - looking at Kuat Sherpa 2.0 rack. Is that a good fit? Curt recommends using supporting strap for hitch warranty. How would that be attached? Thanks

Expert Reply:
It can be a bit interesting fitting the stabilizer strap part # 18050 to a platform bike rack like the Kuat Sherpa part # SH22B but basically you have to run the strap from the trunk lid to the base of the rack where the rails meet shank of the rack.
This would be an excellent bike rack though. Kuat makes some of the best bike racks available so I know you will like it with your 2016 Mazda Miata with Curt hitch # C11435 installed.
