I run this one from JP cycles it doesn't fit perfectly but it works and I'm less worried about losing it. You could probably heat it up a bit to get it to fit better.

I have a stock BDM one that I don't run so I don't lose it ;)

Here is a pic see one side fits the other is off a bit. It doesn't fall it's snug, it does sit up higher on the bar but no females have complained :) they actually prefer it up higher.

I have the same one (now). The 3M double stick tape and red Loctite on the screws and it has not moved.

Yeah that's what reminded me I lost it for the second time..... 1st time I lost it was on a ride in the hills here in SD. Having fun and riding with buddy. Stopped at watering hole and noticed it was gone. So before a cold one I back tracked 30 miles at last stop (Don't find it)
Then 2 months later my cousin (From the east side of state) and I were talking and told her I lost my back rest. She talked to her friend and he said he found one while out riding the hill a couple of months ago......
Small world and I got my backrest back for a 12 pack (I offered he said well yeah duh!)
I guess I don't need a backrest....

yep, had same issue with loosing the back pad when slipping the saddlemen bag on/off the backrest. It started to come off.
used a bit Gorilla glue and now it stays.

I use double sided 3M also - the stuff for emblems. I used a 2 strips down the pad itself, and 2 strips down the metal back plate - then tightened up the screws to sandwich it to the bar. I do hang the bag over the bar tho so now u guys have me concerned.....

With the double-sided tape AND Blue Loctite on the screws you have nothing to worry about! :old2:
