 BD 4500 /5500 comparison Im getting my parts list together for mods once my engine comes in, and I see the only difference between these motors is single or twin mikunis (from what i can tell). what is the performance difference betweeen the two? and is it worth 700 more dollars for twin mikunis versus a single?
thanks,
Rod

Re: BD 4500 /5500 comparison You're more than welcome to run my 4500 and see if you like it. I like that single is up on top the motor, seems more protected to me from crazy stuff that happens in a duckboat, and 1/2 the maintenance of twins.
