Why would anyone ever want to put a 4 cylinder in a Moppie?

The fours were lighter and more efficent in the hulls and I think not availible in the original model? Lighter,less hp, but same to near performance and speed because weight difference. I did see a couple that way.

I also have a customer who bought a 20 from Michigan and is sending it to a restorer in florida this winter for a frame off if you will and it does not even appear to need it. But he is that kinda of guy! He is a collector of many things.Frame off thats what he calls it. Barret jackson guy:)

-------The El Pescador had twin 4-cyl iron dukes new. It hit somewhere around 40 the only time I ever ran it with them before I tore them out. Pretty hardy little buggers.........Mr.Bill
