Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for Performance Xport 2-Bike Carrier

Question:

Hi there! I have a Performance Xport FLatbedLR bike carrier. I want to replace the hitch pin with something that has a lock. You recommended part # SR0901 to someone else. Can you confirm? Also, I want to the upright hooks from simply being unscrewed. This may mean that I have to drill holes in the upright. Or, maybe I need to replace the hooks with ones that have locks within the turn-handles. What ould you recommend forr this application? thx

So the Xport Flatbed you have is an older version of what is now known as the Reese Q-Slot which we've found that the Saris locking hitch pin part # SA3022 does fit. The # SR0901 does not fit your bike so we don't recommend it.

Since you are concerned about the securing of the bikes to the rack as well you'd instead want the part # SA984 which comes with a cable lock as well so that you can lock the bikes to the rack and the rack to the hitch.
