Question single vs double wall tops

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

very few pros to the double wall tops. Maybe insulate road noise better....that's about it. Besides, these babies are meant to be topless!!

Single walls came out in 72 (I think) and for good reason.

Double walls are heavier, harder to bolt/unbolt and tend to split.
