Douglas-
I thought the same on my '87 5000t- build date 6-86- I heard it was
supposed to have dual filters, but later on I heard that this was a
running change taking place around '86. The filters are not the
determining factor as to whether it's an MC or not. Perhaps a more
experienced lister (Phil?) could enumerate the distinctions?
My conclusion is, it's likely still an MC.
