35mm. I could not tell you the length but they are supposedly the same as XL250. I have the measurement of those somewhere if it helps.

The CR250M fork staunchions (chrome sliders) are longer by around 2". Both are 35mm as previously mentioned.
It's a good XL250 mod if you want more travel on the front. Everything is interchangeable between the CR250M (73-74) and the XL250 K0 (72-73) forks.

Only other obvious difference is the external speedo cable mount on the RHS.

Best person to ask for exact length is forum member Nathan S , as I just sold him a set of CR250M forks and I do believe he has XL bits as well to measure against.  ;D

Thanks Guys looks all good I can fit the forks as they are the correct period.
