Does anyone have a set of USD RGV250 fork springs laying around? I need to know the internal and external diameters of the spring and am to busy, (reads as lazy;)), to pull mine apart.

Sweet, thanks Danny. I have to make some spacers to go under the springs, I'm still having trouble with the turbo clearance from the front tyre.

If you have access to a set of 1100 USD forks which are bent or broken but springs are ok what me and a mate have done is fabricate chrome moly thin wall tubes to make up the difference in length from the 250 to 1100 springs and then basically you have the same spring rates as the 1100.The 250 spring is actually longer. I've got a set of 1100 springs I can measure if you're interested in doing. I used to have all the information in the computer for length of tube etc but have had too many crashes since then.

I need to be able to ride it on Friday, I think I'll just make some spacers. Thanks anyway.
