You can see it here:



Your front calipers have them, they could be  your guide...

The retainer pictured in the service manual fits into the front of the caliper, and the slots on that end of the pads fit onto it; the pin being turned by Mike is at the rear, and fits through the holes in the pads on that end.

Yeah, I guess that's the "SPRING, PAD" (43108-MT3-006) you
can see peeking out in my picture, not the "RETAINER"
(43112-MT3-006), I forgot there were two funny looking little
frobs in there...

I've never taken mine off, but pretty sure it clips onto the bracket, as indicated in the parts breakdown: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/1998/GL1500CT+A/REAR+BRAKE+CALIPER/parts.html
