I know where to buy one but was hoping I can borrow/rent one :|
We are bringing two starters to the salt. One is just a spare. You can borrow it unless of course ours breaks in which case we will need it back. Last year the spare was never used. Just pit near to the 10 or so bikes arriving from England for SW. Look for the Union Jack flags.

Very nice of you guys, I race a 55 Triumph, cheers. I have a Triumph flag on my pit and will come buy. What day are you setting up?

We all arrive on the Thursday. The starter has a 2-pin Anderson plug much like fork lift trucks use for charging their batteries. The starter is 12V but we run them at 24V. Our bike is based around a pre-unit Triumph but we have extensive modifications. Check out our bike at www.saltbike775.co.uk. APS-PBF 750

Steve,
thank you very much, will find you on Thursday in the pits. Can it be modified to have a 1 1/8 socket? I have a 1 1/8" nut welded to the sprocket on my 55 pre unit in 750. Also is it the starter with batteries or do I need to get 2 12 V batteries?
The starter already has an 1" 1/8th socket fitted, this is the same as our bike uses. You will need to provide your own 12v batteries. I suggest 2 x 12V linked in series to make 24V, then make up a 3 - 4 foot cable tail with the Anderson plug to connect to the starter's electrical plug. Put tick them in a plastic box to make it easy to carry. Long cables mean you don't need to take it out of the van when starting in line.
2 pictures. 1 showing us using one of the starters during the filming of Speed Dreams at Santa Pod Raceway, the other is a close up of my drag bike with the Anderson plug in the background "Circled in black".
