I have a Gunvault Nano Vault that I stick in my saddle bag or tail bag on my luggage rack. Before I leave the house I lock the cable around the frame of the luggage rack. If I had to, I could lock the pistol in that vault and feel relatively secure. I have not used it for my pistol but have used it for my Sena Intercoms before. If I have my tail bag I run the cable through the mounting sleeve and it "locks" my bag on as well.

The trouble would be finding a suitable place to remove the pistol and get it in the vault and then back out again.

I mostly ride for recreation so I can pick and choose where I go and this has not been a big issue for me.

Probably not a perfect solution but it's the best I could come up with so far.

One reason to carry in a vest or jacket inside pocket. You can take the vest or jacket off and put in saddle bags if you have them

I have saddle bags but they don't lock...

Thanks.

I carry my XDM 9mm on my Suzuki Boulevard C90T (1500cc) in an IWB (either CompTac MTAC or TactiPac Fusion). I wear T-shirts if it's hot and don't have a problem with them blowing as I have a backrest. If I have a jacket on, it's even less of a concern. I also occasionally carry my Browning 9mm Hi Power in a Dave Bullard IWB with no issues. Depending on the jeans and shirt I am wearing and which weapon / holster combo I have on, I carry somewhere between 3:00 and 4:30.

As far as the question of accessibility and usability while riding, I am afraid I'd have to be at least stopped and probably dismounted to be able to engage effectively. My bike is a handful and I can't see myself playing Tom Cruise and shooting or even drawing while moving.

I think you've received enough advice on the other questions you asked about your situations.

Good luck.
