Yes, the thought did cross my mind. I'm not sure what the cost difference will be between getting my Miller unit repaired and replacing it with an Alton. Is the consensus these days that the Altons have had all their bugs worked out?I would think About an Alton Generator. 12 Volt and 150 Watt .A satnav is no Problem and you have really bright light for safety reasons.I have one on my three Vincents.Erik
