Yes, do you think that the investment is worth it? 1% of the bike value you have on your rack in my case justify totally it. Easy to install, not so easy to cut if you're not a pro, pretty well equiped.

GREAT bike rack...very easy to assemble and install. I love the swing away to allow access to the hatch cover on my Jeep ! A+++++++

GREAT lock BUT you can cut through the cable with ordinary bolt cutters, no problem. But its a perfect fit for the rack. As we all know if a thief really wants the bikes they will get them anyway.

The lock kit is a generally good piece of gear. I like the fact that both locks are keyed to the same keys, and its compact storage. I dislike the fact that it really only secures the last bike on the rack. If you have only one bike on the rack, it has to go in the farthest position. A bit more length on the lock chain would have been nice.

It works well, but it’s a bit short.

I am very please with the rack itself, however, in order to fully secure the yakima hitch and rack mounts, both ski and bike it creates a problem.
First Yakima doesn't supply the hitch with adaquate equipment to lock it to the car/truck etc. Yes, you are provided with enough locks to lock down the skis or bikes, but not the hitch. It will generally cost another $50-$70 for locks alone. Plus the end of the pins must be turned down/ w/lathe to allow a yakima lock to secure the brackets. I had to purchase another 3 locks. @ yakima and 1 for the class 3 bolt onto the car.

The DeadLock is a good security product and very convient. My wife had no problems with it last weekend. It could be a foot or so longer.

Very simple to install, easy to use. Convenient. Not super substanstial, but the low -cost and convenience make it an excellent buy.
