The EZ is definitely easy in all regards.
Well then, let's get you down to the Harley store and fix that part. :cheers2:
Back before you were born {maybe}, I had 1949 165 cc Harley followed up a couple years later with a 1955 Harley 165 with high handlebars. Me and Marlon Brando, baby!

The green Harley and my riding days ended on the front end of a school bus in Harrisburg, IL, circa 1957.
Ouch! You did the final scene in SOA... LOL. I would give my right nut to have that 1949 Harley. I have some vehicles from the past that I watch sell for 150K on the auto auction shows and want to jump out my window. Haha

You are my hero. I have to admit my first bike was a Yamaha 125. It was cool at 15 but not something one wants to brag about. LOL

Even back in the day when I owned a few j frames their big brothers and sisters won out on the carry rotation. When I ride my Harley the thought of a carry weapon a little bit smaller has caught my interest for a while but with carpal tunnel in both my wrists from 24 years on a over the road truck , it has kept me away from the smaller carry pieces.

The other day a friend who is buying a house wanted to sell a few to help with a pad for the down payment. One of the ones was a P 938. My wife had a P238 for a while and I shot it ok but the recoil was a little sharp on my wrists so I never took a chance on the bigger brother. So took a chance I did and just got back from the range all that can be said is this should have happened years ago. I loved it. It was flawless in performance and shot well with all I fed it except the personal defense Hornady rounds. They printed a larger group but still combat accurate. Now I have to buy extra mags and a holster. It has the rubber grips on it so that might taken a little sting out of it. I would post pictures but I can’t seam to get that done on here for some reason, computers not being my thing. Finally a micro has won me over, hoping it’s the last one my bank account doesn’t seam to stretch as far as it used to
I have experienced the same when riding my Harley. I believe in carrying on my body and it was just too much trouble between the wind exposing my weapon and the concerns over it falling out of my holster. I pocket carry and the smaller handguns work best for me in this scenario.

What Harley you have? I ride a 2013 Road King. It is funny, my pickup truck of the same year has half the miles of my Harley. I love riding.
