Hitch Mounted Bike Racks

Does anyone know if the Yakima hitch mounted racks clears the vehicle when using a Hidden Hitch or Draw-Tite?

I have a Thule hitch rack with the hidden hitch and I had to buy an extender. See thread here:

DrawTite hitch with Xport rack

I just installed a DrawTite hitch on my RDX. It works great with a Performance Xport flatbed rack. Here are some photos. The hitch sits just below the bottom edge of the bumper, so it is not really noticable unless something is in it. The first photo is a little misleading; the rack is actually at mid-bumper level and keeps the bikes out of the exhaust stream. The rack has space for 2 bikes and uses a very simple, but stable mounting system. I bought the bike rack from a local Performance bike shop. You can find similar racks from other brands at most bike shops.
