motorcycle concealed carry

I have a bit of a problem. In the summer I primarily ride my 78 KZ650 everywhere. I am going to be getting my CCW very soon and I need some advice about how to carry.
I don't want to carry IWB, and I don't have anywhere to stash it on the bike. A shoulder holster might be an option but they seem a little pricey.
Any advice would be appreciated on what works for you. Brands would be helpful also so I can look around for the right equipment.

I think an ankle holster is going to be a very good option. That's if you're not going to be wearing those high leather biker boots.

Not very stylish, but it would do the trick, and it's pretty cheap.

BIKER DELUXE WALLET HOLSTER-Jamin Leather

Here is another option.

Daytona Gear GB Motorcycle Tank Bag Gun Holster

Yea, that's what my boss does. He is kinda girly-boyish though.

I kind of like that bandolier thing, but now that I saw that shirtless dude I know I would feel kind of fruity wearing it, cause I would always picture that dude.
Probably gonna pick up one of those small tank bags. Thanks guys

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw him. I was looking for the rainbow somewhere on the page.

Come on, you know you're dyin' to bring back the Village People look.

i guess before i can respond intelligently to your inquiry, i would be interested as to what firearm are you looking to carry concealed while on the motorcycle? I just pocket carry on my motorcycle, but then again, it depends on the specific pistol/revolver you plan on carrying and what riding gear you will be wearing too.

just my thoughts.

Versipack FTW!

Edit-I also understand that not everyone likes to have bags on when riding. It's not the most comftrable especially when on longer trips.

Honestly the best bet will probably be a tank or saddle bag. Having a hunk of steel and hard plastic pressing against your bones in a get off is probably something that would result in broken bones at the very least. The just transfer to a concealed holster when you are off the bike.

I am a motorcycle guy as well and although I cannot carry yet, when I can in the near future I will be getting a shoulder holster as I forsee that being the most comfortable and easily accessible. Comfort is more important than a few dollars in my opinion, especially since usually when I go riding it's never for less than an hour.

my primary carry is going to be my xd40sc. and my gear is jeans, full face helmet, snug textile or leather jacket and full finger gloves. kind of like i'm on a sportbike. my jacket has room in the chest though if i remove the liner..
