3-Bike Carriers for 1-1/4" Class II Hitch?

:
2007 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD
I'm looking for some recommendations for a 3-bike carrier for the Class II 1-1/4" hitch on my '07 CX-9.

My wife and I are planning to use an existing Yakima 2-bike carrier on the roof rack, but we need something that holds 3 bikes for the kids (ages 13, 12, and 10).
 
CX9SportOwner should be able to help you there. He's got a pretty nice setup for his rack. I think it's a Monte Blanc or something like that.
 
I have 2 Thule Pelotons on the roof, but I built my hitch rack from different parts. That was the main reason I wanted the factory 1 1/4" receiver. (that and the built in look).

Go to Proline racks and look at their selection. Good fast service and great prices. Saved me a buttload of money.

ETrailer has racks, too. They have the SportRack Escape which folds, tilts, and fits 1 1/4" and 2" receivers, and comes with an anti rattle bolt. SportRack also has a Hitch and Cable Lock set to lock the bolt, and bikes.

Don't forget a locking tightener pin to keep the rack stable and secure if the rack doesn't come with one. (They have the threads at the bolt head, and a locking head in place of the normal cotter pin.)
