Check your measurement Stew, original is under 400mm about 396/397mm. 407mm would probably still be ok though.

Steve, if you want to get rid of your original 250T shocks let me know.

Stick with standard or a few mm either side.  385mm to 395mm is best.This will change if you change the front end etc. The RMT's get a bit weird after 405mm - even at 405mm I reckon.  Stay close to stock.
