FWIW, I've toured 10's of thousands of miles on a H-D XL883 [Sportster] over the years. I had to look up a picture of your Suzuki. It seems it's not a bar hopper crotch rocket, rather a viable cruiser/tour bike. Having said that, my carry was always either a 4" 1911 pattern or a Shield 9. Either was carried quite comfortably in an IWB at 4:00. Since I was never poked or gouged in an upright riding position, I can't imaging you would be on the V-Strom in a slightly forward position.

I honestly can't even imagine a shoulder holster with all the body/arm motion in riding, especially on curvy fun roadways.
