Where does the anti-rattle clip go on the rear brake caliper?
Hi, Micky_6981 for this scenario you will need your service manual that has all fastener torque specs -fluid capacities and a wiring diagram on the back pages, parts fiche, and owners manual if you can not find the best tool you ever bought for your Harley, despair not, for a mere zero $0 you can download another one.

Aftermarket brake systems are your only choice as far as I know. Maybe PMC or some other outfit makes them for your bike. You may even have to replace the rotors as well.
Now, there are different types of brake pads that give different levels of performance. Have you tried any of the sintered metal brake pads? If not, these may do what you want at the cost of more rapid wear of the rotors. There are kits available that will stop the rattling. Check Custom Chrome and V-Twin for anti rattle kits and pads.
SOURCE: my brake pads dont stay in the caliper on my
I don't know what a "Thumpstar 120 Pro" is but you're right on about what the little silver wierd shaped clip things are. They're anti-rattle clips and the do hold the brake pads in the caliper bracket while you replace the caliper. You are putting the brake pads in the caliper bracket instead of trying to put them in the caliper, aren't you? Put the pads in the bracket and then carefully slide the caliper down over the pads without disturbing them. Make sure your pads are installed correctly.
Always test the brakes before attempting to ride the bike. Improper installation of the pads could cause brake failure that could cause serious injury or death. Make sure they're right before you ride.
