The cable and hitch lock that's compatible with the RockyMounts # RKY10223 WestSlope bike rack are available separately as part # RKY10224.

The WestSlope bike rack is one of my favorite designs, primarily because the U-shaped rack allows you to step in closer to the rear of the vehicle which makes in easy to load the bikes that are closest to the vehicle.

If anything a non-supported load like a bike rack would be more stressful than the tongue weight of a trailer so you'd not be able to exceed the 150 lb tongue weight rating of your 2009 Honda CR-V with the weight of a bike rack. You'll need…

All you need to attach your 1-1/4 inch bike rack to the 2 inch receiver on your vehicle is a reducer like the excellent Brophy #HT02. This will slide right into your vehicle's hitch to provide a smaller 1-1/4 inch opening for your rack. Because…
