Ive thought about it but i dont have the room in my tail anymore. i always considered the legality of it for NJ and if i could do it or not though since you have to have the gun in its own case and in an area of the vehicle not accessible or easily accesible to the driver/passengers(i.e. trunk) when transporting a firearm.
Ive been meaning to find out if transporting it in a case in a tailbag would be legal since I assume having it in a backpack or something would be considered carrying it. Youve probably got it way easier in florida. Try jb welding some plastic or metal posts onto the inside of your tail sort of like a jig for it to fit into maybe? Or you could always just mount a holster or the top half of a holster to your tail and slide it in and out of that too?

Also like I said before, a big concern is getting caught in the rain. Maybe some plastic lining on the inside. Dunno, maybe the idea isn't practical at all.
I can open carry and conceal carry so it isn't an issue with that, but I was looking for comfort and storage while riding or parked somewhere.

Just carry it.
Personally I don't like the idea of trying to pull out the gun and sneakily hide it in the seat. If it's somewhere you go often and do this on a regular basis - even worse.
On top of that bikes are easy enough to steal as it is, so how secure of a location are we talking?
Just carry it.
Unless you're talking about maybe safety concerns of riding with it worn (in the case of a fall), where you would bring the weapon from storage and onto your person to carry once you park. If you know you're going somewhere that you're not allowed to carry - don't carry

Sneaking it and keeping it out of the public eye is not a concern.
Like I said before, I don't want to carry it while riding so i'll be more comfortable. But the more I think about the whole idea, the more I feel that it is more trouble than it is worth. Guess I'll carry on the small of my back.

I think you would be better off crash wise to use some form of side carry (conventional, shoulder, crossdraw) or front carry (inside pocket of jacket like old style bomber jackets). Going down on your back could expose your spine to a lot of force in a small area from the thickness of the gun. Like so many other activities while ccw, it's a balance between concealment, speed, security, and comfort. I'll second the lack of security by leaving it in the bike, doesn't take that much to rip/pry off a seat.

Shoulder carry it while riding. A crash with it in the small of your backcould get disastrous. If you ride with a back protector, that would essentially nullify it.
