I've used ballards in the past for stuff that no one else is interested in, or YSS.

Teknik have been very helpful, but I website vs person #1 vs person #2 has given three different answers...

I have bought a few from Frank Pons at Biketek in Campbelltown. He certainly knows his stuff about the older bikes. Also good for shock rebuilds.

Wasp do you sell 38mm fork springs in different lengths and strength?

Always funny , when I have a good guess who is looking for them  , after they done their phoning and mailing around 7 different places , waisting 7 peoples time and then the rare springs just about com all from the same place in the end in the appropriate package .  :D

 ???
These are springs for my TTR250.
I checked the website and it said 0.46s.
This seemed light, so I rang them and got told 0.48s would be the go - which fitted in with what I'd estimated.
Got my local shop to order them and he got told 0.45s.
