I lost one on my 07 Mastiff a few years ago. They can fall out.

Like I just mentioned somewhere, but thick doublesided tape on both sides between pad and bar. That will keep it nice and tight.

Yeah I lost one as well.. but I was new to the whole "American muscle bike" and didn't know about checking bolts often.. so I learned some medium duty lock tight and check em frequently.. almost lost an air cleaner too

I bought 2 split rings from mcmaster carr that were polished and bolted them to the sissy bar as they have 2 allen bolts to hold them together. You just bolt them under the bottom of the pad and the pad can't slide down at all!!! I have 2 pads on my 18 inch sissy bar so i got 2 split rings for each pad and they don't look bad at all!

Guru! HahaWTF is that?
The collar is similar to what you go on your sissy bar, just put it on the bar and tighten so bad doesn't slide down.

Yes they are split shaft collars and you can get them in steel, aluminum etc. from Mcmaster carr.com

I had one come loose on the original K-9, by the time the pad got to K-9 mach 2 the hard plastic plate inside cracked.
I made a new pad and used aluminum angle iron on the and placed it so it was on the outside of the sissy bar and since it is sloped It coiuld never slide down since the top was narrower than the bottom -- Made the pad longer but a little to think and gf didn't like it -- hit wrong spot on back, so we're riding without a backrest pad and she's ok with that.
