Default Self-stick sissy bar Medallion

How do you place medallion over screw on back of sissy bar? Screw for pad not flush. Saw same medallion at dealer on another bike that covered screw. Self-stick medallion.

I thought that was screwy too, when I had my Fatboy.&nbsp\\; I ended up using 3M double sided tape and cutting out the center to allow just enough room for the screw head.

Go to a flush mounting screw .you may need to take a larger size drill bit and bevel the hole just a bit so a flush mounting screw will fit completly flush.Thats what I did anyway.

my sissy bar has a countersunk hole that uses a beveled bolt to attach the pad.&nbsp\\; The HD stick on medallion attaches easy with the tape/adhesive that it has.&nbsp\\; No problems, it is really on there and ain't coming off.&nbsp\\; Have a similar medallion attached with the same tape on my pull behind trailer and it is firmly attached.&nbsp\\; 15k on the bike with no indication that the medallion is loosining up.

I use velcro, when you want to get at that screw just pull off works great.

Yer bar maybe on backwards. The counter-sunk hole shiould be on the back.
My Sporty's was on backwards when I bought it.
