That is an excellent question and one I've often wondered myself. Unfortunately Curt decided to add locks for the bikes but not for the racks like the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes # C18085-FB that you referenced. Bike rack hitch pins have unique designs so only certain locks fit. Curt doesn't have a solution and we have yet to find a lock that will fit the end of their threaded anti-rattle pin. And there are no other threaded anti-rattle pins that can be used in it's place.
If you've already purchased the Curt bike rack the only solution I have for you is to wrap a cable lock, like the etrailer # e98891, through and around the rack as well as the safety chain loops on your trailer hitch.
If you don't already have the Curt a great alternative is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack for 2 Fat Bikes # HR1450Z-FB which does come with locks for both the bikes and rack.
