So what you're saying is, to tighten them you remove the right (rear) shifter and the 'Boss' has a smaller screw inside it to tighten the band? the is very clever.

You dont wanna add a brazeon. You'll wreck the paint.
One workaround you could do that would stop the slippage for sure is to install the shifters above the pump peg. The pump peg will prevent them from slipping down
