Bikes look good, and should make a great conversion. The 250f may be an 11 but the forks are for sure not off an 11, the 11 had the titanium nitrade coating on the fork tubes and had the spring adjuster on one fork and the compression on the other, both were anaodized blue, in fact they look to be KYB from an 04-05, 06 on used Showa forks and they looked different. Those forks will probably work better than the 11 forks, since the 11 only had 1 spring you may not have been able to get a heavy enough one
