Title: Transporting Firearms on a Motorcycle: Let's see your setup.
Post by: tialloydragon on November 07, 2011, 03:05:40 PM
The name says it all.  This is more geared towards those in the US.  I am looking for ideas on how to attach a case and gear bag to my GS500.  I occasionally like to indulge in more than one of my obsessions concurrently, shooting and motorcycling.  Currently I have my soft long gun case hooked to my helmet lock and my ammo bag on the other side (pics to come).  So I am wondering everyone else does it?

Yeah would be interesting to see. Here in my state you cant publicly display firearms they have to be secured in a car boot or ute tray.

No problem I'll make you a set of handlebars with a gun turret fitted in the triple and activated by the turnsignal and high beam. To shoot right, obviously put on the right turnsignal. Highbeams of course are for shooting straight.
Cool.

I transport my Beretta Px4 Storm 9mm, on my hip, if I wanted to transport more pistols I would just use soft luggage. Now long guns....I haven't done that yet?

I have a custom set up that I designed in the early 80's, back when I was a motorcycle cop injured in the line of duty.  That was before I was chosen to ride STREET HAWK. :D

See what I did there was actually mount a full auto sub gun behind the upper cowling, hooked a servo trigger up to my handlebars and hid a pair of 80 mm rockets under the belly pan.  Downsides are that the mods do add a bit of weight but, as you'll notice in the video, that doesn't stop me from doing 360 degree spins while fending off evil doers.

In all seriousness, I just keep my Kahr CW9 in its normal leather OWB Holster in the 5 o'clock position, same as I do if I'm walking down the street. 

I have fantasies of building a duck hunting vstrom to access backcountry marshes.  And I have actually just bungied my shotgun (in its case) across the passenger seat when going to the range.  Never had a single problem, just made sure it was very secure.
