I see no reason at all why it won’t fit, however, having just fitted one myself I removed the plastic air box for 2 reasons. The first, it had been butchered by a previous owner and would have been v expensive, the second reason is that when I tried to fit a new battery it was too long to fit in the tray, by about 1/4 inch.
So my advice would be to be very careful re choice of battery, I fitted the earlier battery tray, runs along, not across the bike.
If you get a battery that fits there should be no problem.
I changed the whole ignition system, from Boyer to Paton. I changed it all, coils, leads, plug caps and plugs!
The main reason for this is the only real issue I could find with the Alton is perhaps a weakness if the motor backfires. I now have a bike that fires as soon as the motor starts spinning. So far without fail. I rode 150 miles on Wednesday, longest for many years, we stopped several times. Switched the motor off every time. All I will say is, brilliant, do it, just. Watch the battery size.
