The standard single side plate box is an L bug box.
It has a 3.88 ratio rather than a 4.33?? ratio. More suited for the 1600. Better for cruising.
I think it is stronger inside but i will let some expert out there give that blessing
I think it gets confused with a rhino box which is another single side plated box that IS stonger inside.
