    I have had a lot of luck with Pin Keepers they are sold in most Harley Davidson Shops. Basically the are a small round tube with a set screw. I push the pin keeper very hard from the back and tighten down the set screw and it seams to work for me. A pack of 12 is about $5.00.

    Great find

    Santa,
    Good link. I am glad you posted the post locks. That will come in hand at work as well.

    I was quite disappointed when I received my EGA pin. Seeing right off that the posts were not near long enough nor secure enough. I thought it would be something that the maker would fix right away before selling items. I kept it only for convenience and support. Nice looking pin yet still it sits in my sock drawer.

    The title says it. These pin keepers grip the pins and keep the badge in position quite well.
