Honda CRF 250L front suspension upgrade

Can you help?

I have been searching, without success to find a UK supplier for the front suspension upgrades.

I'm looking at 2 options at the moment:

1) Race Tech spring kit from the USA
2) Ohlins FSK 123. These are available on the UK Ebay but from the USA or Italy.

Do you know of any UK supplier?

Cheers Andy

Thanks Minkyhead,
They are far cheaper than the Ohlins. Do you have these fitted?

Thank you, I have found UK suppliers for both the kits above now.
I could not find any prices on a set of 450x forks but I would have thought they would need a service etc so the price would be more than the Ohlins setup at £235.

You are right about the Race Tech setup, it has another linear spring in the lefthand fork leg. For £110 I'll go this way.

Thanks for your help,

Andy
