Hwy Peg - Proper Torque

[Big Ed]

Got a hwy peg mounted to the engine guard that keeps moving on me.
I've tightened it pretty tight as far as I can tell, but the sucker keeps shifting.

I want to take a torque wrench to it, but not sure where to start (i.e. how many ft lbs).

Thoughts?

Is there anything I can put in between the clamp and engine guard to make it hold better?

Perhaps a small piece of old garden hose.

A pic or two would help with advice.  Some clamp setups are steel, but many are really pretty die-cast pot metal and strip out very easily if over-torqued.  At that point the options are drill/tap/heli-coil and start over, drill through and through and use good fasteners, or replace.

Not garden hose, inner tube rubber.  Or even a few raps of electrical tape.

I learned a hard lesson few years ago.
I was on a ride and one of my Kury Longhorn highway pegs came loose and I lost half of the hardware.
Had to order lost parts from Kuryakyn.
Lesson learned? Always use blue threadlock on highway pegs.
