On a typical "Poker run" you get a sheet at your starting location that records the type of card you draw at each stop. Usually you get your first card drawn out of a bag and it's recorded on your sheet, then you make 4 more stops during the ride and draw out of a different bag another card. Once you get all five cards drawn that is your poker hand for the ride. The one with the best hand wins a prize and sometimes a small prize is given for worst hand on the ride.
Some rides allow you to draw again at the stops for an additional fee if you don't like the card you drew in order to try and improve your chances for a better hand and also raise more money for the charity.

I had a Zeppelin seat on my 07 FLHTCUSE. It is about an inch and a half higher (more if bladders are full). My wife hated it. It made her sit so high that her back didn't fit thepassenger backrest like she wanted. For me it was OK. Relative to stock seat it was 1.2 times better IMO. However, it wouldn't hold air. So, when I went to exchange it, I returned it instead. My stock seat is just fine for now. I haven't tried a "hammock" seat...

And here's a picture without the backrest.
What is the modification on your Heat Deflector?

It's the handle for the adjustable backrest.  The instructions have you install it under the heat shield but that makes it hard to get to; especially when riding.  Got the suggestion from another member of this forum.  I just traced the opening from the metal bracket that you would normally mount and cut it out with a moto tool.  Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the explanation.  Very nice work, also. :)

Could someone with a ZEP seat post a pic of the underside of the seat at the front docking point?
Got a bike im working on here and the seat looks like it was chopped on by dealer to make it fit for some reason letting the seat nose slide side to side.

DavidB, do you want a picture with the seat still on the bike to see how far it comes up on the tank or do you want a pic of the set off the bike?

I would like a pic of the bottom of the seat where the hole is cut under the nose .
The place where the hold down tap slides into the seat.
It looks like the harley tech cut this one out really big to make the seat install easy.
But this allows the seat to slide from side to side.
Wondering if there all this way ?

Thanks for the help.

Here you go David.  The hole is 1 1/2" by 1 7/8".  The hole looks a little rough around the edges but that's the way it looked new.  I don't have the problem of the seat sliding from side to side.

Thanks for the comparison photo.
Bottom of the seat looks like the one Im working on.
Guess this one was hacked by the same manufacturer.
Little rough around the edges but it still works.
