I just got the email back from Paul, he said yes they are no longer produced but still in rotation through a couple company's that still have them in n.o.s. "new old stock" he said he would find me a back up if i broke the one i have but then assured me that would be quite a feat!

I have some more sad news for you, the forks pictured, as I said previously looked to be 04-05 250f, they are in fact of that vintage, they were also used on the 250 up to 07. Looked at my 08 Showas, they are different, yours are KYB.
Sorry.
LundMx:
interesting, i know it says on the bottom aluminum piece at the bottom of the fork. now you have me interested, im going to check it out when i get home :/

I've just been assembling my engine and noticed that it has a Hinson clutch basket. So I started having a closer look at things. The primary drive gear is 16mm wide. The teeth on the basket are 12mm wide. Yet they only engaged about 11mm. Seems odd having such a strong primary drive gear and waste that strength by not using iT and also not permitting the clutch basket engage the full width of its teeth. Has anybody else noticed this?
