Saw that on ebay the other week.
I believe the Scottish championship was a stock (ish) engine championship, something like a 65bhp limit, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Does look a nice bike with some nice bits on it.
If the plug proves difficult or not possible, I do have an engine in bits I might sell.
Pm me your number and a list of bits your after as I have collected a ruck of bits for these.

Cheers John.
Yes will definitely send you an email as I need a few bits. Looking at the motor I'm hoping once I get it out it will be a simple job repairing it.

The front mudguard is fixed differently too, you can rotate the fork lowers without having to remove the mudguard which means you don't have to remove the calipers to take the wheel out. There's loads of really nicely thought out bits on them.
I've got an aftermarket setup right now that requires removing the calipers. Not sure what it's sourced from, uses ducati fender clamps on the bottom, bolts into the brake line retaining clip bosses at the top of the lowers. Based on the description, I think I'd prefer the OEM setup on my race bike. I'm guessing they're just a wee bit rare now?

That looks very nice. I also have an SP I used to race it but only do trackdays now,
Along with the other mods the SP also has an extra clutch plate in it, the clutch is a weak point on these bikes Barnett plates and springs are good but expensive.
Do you still need a starter motor?

Sounds like a BDK mudgaurd
I was looking at how to fit one, I reckon you need to take the swivelly mounts off ths forks to do it though.

Yup, no swively bits on my forks, and it looks like the parts fiche doesn't list them as something you can order separate from the lowers either. If you need pics on how to fit the mudguard let me know. (Assuming mine IS a BDK one. :D)

Pics are always nice - I kinda got it figured out but as it means taking off said swivelly mounting bits it also means dropping the forks out / dismantling the front end.
The mounts themselves are alloy and cut from a flat sheet and look to be kept in place with a circle of wire (a circlip without the eyes ?) I can get you a pic and a few dimensions if you like.
