Default CCw holders how do you carry on bike?

So i recently got my concealed carry license and spring is almost here.
Wherehave you found to be the easiest and best place to carry.. IWB, shoulder or tank bag.
seems like it might be hard to conceal in a race tuck and not 100% sure i want 2lbs of metal hanging off me in a crash. So i know your out there how do you do it ... thanks

tank bag would be good. maybe mount a holster to your bike...but thats not concealed.

personally IWB, but I have long arms and don't really go into a race tuck unless its flippin cold outside.

it really is personal prefference. tank bag is a good idea as long as it goes with you when you leave the bike, like one of those backpack tankbags (or just move the gun from the bag to your holster when you dismount)

I like iwb also , my jacket has extra stiff leather at the waist like a little reinforced mini tail that makes it a little hard to lift up, good in a slide down the road but not so much for access. its do able though. i got long arms too and its not a race tuck but just tryin to get the bent over point across and lookin for a place that doesnt print to much.. thanks for the reply

I just used the tank bag idea. Then carry the bag as a brief case as you walk around, ie helmet in one hand, tank bag in the other.

on a side note anyone recommend a good iwb holster..
a lot of forums have high praise for the crossbreed supertuck, but I'm not so sure i want a leather and kydex holster think i would prefer leather, conceal-ability more important than comfort, I'm a skinny guy and cant seem to find 1 that hides well in summer type clothes
for a full size pistol. any 1 tried either supertuck or DM dual carry or hbe leather works comm111 or hbe DC special?? those are the 1s i am considering

crossbreed makes a nice holster. I always carry on me. what's the point of carrying if you have to lay down the tank bag, unzip it, fumble around that man purse, just to try to pull your weapon. kinda defeats the point.

I carry on lower right back.

if you are going to carry in the tank bag, then you have to take the tank bag to the shooting range, and practice self defense scenarios pulling the weapon out of your bag, and then be able to bring to a consistent firing position everytime from the bag.

hahaha, I wear my one piece leathers. So instead of trying to get out of my leathers somehow, lol, the fanny pack or tank bag is prolly faster.

hey buddy, grab an arm and help me remove my leathers so that I can point my gun at you.
