I've noticed that after each ride recently my rear brake hub is loose. I don't have an anti-fade, just the regular nut from T&T. Is there something else that's causing this or do these really come loose this often?

Thanks for the offer Bigred. I came up with a couple ideas after talking with my friends at a local machine shop so I'm going to try those and if that doesn't work out I'll just buy an anti-fade. I was curious to see if other people had the same problem often. How do you like that TC ported cylinder?

Use Honda specs when tightening bolt or nut. I use blue loc tite but not too much, and have never had any problems doing it using Hondas specs.

Tighten and racers tape/duct tape etc. This is how it was done back in the day and nearly 30 years later still the way to go for a stock setup.

Got it tightened correctly this time I hope so we will see what happens. I don't see it being a problem again, thanks everyone.
