Ashman brings up some good concerns, the cost and not knowing how long it might last before more money has to be spent.
Including the cost of the new more powerful battery my complete Alton Estart was about $2650.
For me after two spine surgeries buying my Alton has kept me able to ride my Commando.
Ashman, I don't know what can go wrong or break in the years ahead that would cost much money at all to replace, do you?
There is not too much to this, new inner primary cover - can't see what can fail there, new better and higher output alternator,
starter unit, chain, etc
You express concern that because we can't predict the future of something that can go wrong 15 or 20 years from now that that is a reason to maybe not buy it now, if I am reading you right......I would not have bought my Camry Hybrid because it has not been in production in its present form for 20 years....I guess one makes informed decisions and there is always an amount of trust involved?
Anyway, I have had it installed since August now and with well over 100 instant and trouble free starts I am very pleased with it.
