(side note) -- don't want to get into alton vs. others thing. I had my reasons and what's done is done.
5 stars! finished up the alton starter on the 74 - overall a really nice kit and everything seemed to be well made and top shelf. the nuts and bolts end of the installation was easy and without issues. the electrics gave me somewhat of a challenge trying to fit a larger battery and finding the ideal location for the starter relay. had to take half the bike apart to rework the battery tray. once everything was sorted, it all came together. kit was $2250 + a new battery, but well worth the investment. the only issue, the replacement inner primary case was not polished like my OE factory case. this may be an ordering option - don't know, but I spent about 4 hours sanding and polishing to get the factory look. first crank on a cold engine, and started within a second or so. my arthritic knee is happy and grateful!
BTW, when things were apart, I replaced my horn with this assembly. it was a PERFECT fit in the original horn cavity - Amazon product ASIN B07V5J7VN9 . gooden loud!!!
