Hi Rob, and welcome to NSR-WORLD.
I've moved this into the NSR250 Discussion area so it's available to a wider audience.
Have you looked into having your stanchions replated here in the UK? You're looking at about £200 for RWU [conventional] forks, and you'd be dealing with a UK company rather than one of possibly questionable origin.
