Hello Ericg, I think there is a way of making the Alton charge better at low speed,It is only something i have read, I think it's called V/reg but I might be wrong, It is some kind of regulator, They are also sold for Triumph. Try searching this forum under Alton, I am sure some of the lads in the USA use them. Good Luck Bill.
Hi Eric,
I have used this set up several times, but with the addition of Boyer electronic ignition.I had this system on my 500cc Norvin and it worked perfect. I always use the power box on the Cafe Racers I build and use 2X 6v 1.3 amp hr batteries wired in series to give 12volts and have never had a problem.
Regards GARRY
Paul Goff sells the V Reg, I have no idea whether it is suitable for the Alton.
