I have a Yakima KingPin 4 bike rack and it has a threaded bolt for the hitch. Would this slide throungh or do I need one that is alro threaded?

I doubt that it will you can either go with a smaller pin size or try to drill out the threads. This one is 5/8 maybe try 1/2, 3/8's inch or smaller. call your Yakima rep 888.925.4621 and ask what the dimensions are of the 8890176RPL MTG HDW DD/FS. Find out what the inside diameter is of the threads.

My husband has a similar bike rack. You do need to use the threaded bolt. My husband uses a padlock. If I were you I would see if a regular pin fits first. This fits really well in our receiver hitch on our truck.

Pin will not fit. The hole for the pin on your receiver is slightly bigger than the one on the rack. The wobble bolt has a small sleeve that will go through the receiver hole but not the one on the rack. When you tighten, the sleeve pushes the rack against the receiver thus wobble free. That said, you can got to Home Depot and get a 3 1/2 in hex bolt with a 3/4 in nut and lock washer to sub. It won't be wobble free though.

No. The way it works, you turn the knob at the base till it expands within the hitch receiver making the rack very sturdy. Once it is tight enough, you then use the provided Yakima key to lock the hitch to the hitch receiver. So I just leave my rack on all the time. I actually really like my rack :)

Just a little movement. It is important to note that the rack comes with an attachment designed to fit the rack into a larger hitch. Seems to me that movement would be all but impossible given the rack has a screw to lock the rack to the hitch. When that screw is pulled tight it eliminates all but very minor movement. Mine is on a 2007 Lincoln MKX and fits nicely.

it fit my bike hitch-i have the 2" truck hitch so i need to use the L-metal adapter brackets the bike hitch comes with along with the allen bolt provided with the bike rack hitch, also i can use the smaller pin that comes with the lock but it lets the bike rack wobble a bit with the adapters - reason i use the allen bolt the bike hitch came with (my bike hitch = Reese Carry Power SportWing Hitch Mount Bike Carrier, 2 Bikes)

Yes. It slides into a standard class 3 hitch. It also comes with a bolt to lock them in. Note that the hole size on the piece that slides in is a tad small for a standard pin, so use need to use the bolt and nut it comes with. Or you could drill it a little larger, but I didn't.

I have a Schwinn Varsity and I clamp the hitch right under the quick clamp. Never any issues after many heavy loads on all terrains.

It may, but it'll rattle some as it is not a perfect fit. I've gotten used to it as I had no choice, but in the future I would go with a bike rack that's the same size as the hitch.

I have a Hidden Hitch Class 1 #60869 with a 1 1/4" square receiver. The Swagman works with either 1 1/4" or 2" receiver. Also got the Swagman 1/2" locking hitch pin so the bike rack cannot be easily stolen.

There is an adapter that fits on to the bike rack before you insert it into the receiver hitch. The adapter allows the rack to insert into the 2" hitch and not move around.

The end slides into the the existing bike rack. The existing bike rack slides into the receiver hitch. Therefore, it is smaller than the 2" receiver. There would be a fair amount of slop. The holes would also need to be drilled.

As far as I know there is not a locking hitch pin for it because you have to screw it in. It does not just slide in like most hitch pins. Maybe you could just lock the rack onto the hitch with a cable.

You can order a locking pin. Because of the threaded (anti-sway) nature of the included pin, it will not accept a standard sized, non-threaded pin. I modified the hitch, adding a second set of holes to allow the use of either the included pin or a standard locking pin (that I use for other hitches).

Sorry James, I don't know the answer to that. I would recommend emailing Yakima directly. This is my set up: I have elliptical rails on my Subaru and the Yakima rack system works with it. These gunwale brackets are made to work with that system, which have round cross bars.

OK a 'locking pin won't work unless you drill out the treaded insert on the bike rack. Actually this rack comes with a treaded pin that uses a 3/4 inch wrench. Rack theves will have to have a wrench, so no lock is nessary unless the theif's has a wrench. save the money no "lock" is nessary.

It would be pretty close, probably not though, contact Yakima to get the distance from rack to hitch. I would get the Kuat NV over this model from Yakima anyway, it's half of the weight and aluminum so it won't rust(also looks cooler & has a stand built in). Mine is in pretty bad shape after a few months shy of a year's use.

If you mean the threaded part was to big to go through the hole, then you need to consider the Reese Towpower 74307 quick change ball kit. It has the small 3/4" shank. Its what I use and I love the quick change option. To be sure measure your hole size on the hitch I bet its 3/4" and not 1".
