I just figured they tried to save a piece of vinyl and pulled it down to staple it.

That's what I was getting at. The Cross Bones seat I have, has an extra piece of material that pulls through to hold the middle down.

I vote for the "methane" theory. The MOCO will be offering a special 103 turbocharger that will use the methane for boost. Then we will all stop complaining about not having the upgraded cams.

Its a nut warming vent. You'll appreciate it in the winter. But I thought only the CVOs came with it as a stock accessory.

my nuts are about 10" in front of the slot in question but I'd believe it's a blow hole cooler?

It's a fart hole...You can stay seated and fart now... Seriously though, I think it's to take pressure off your tail bone to make the seat more comfortable, like the bicyclist have.
