Need to find a spring maker in England !
I've make made springs with wire diam 9.5 or 10 instead of 8.5.

As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
I had problems with the rear end on my 250s when using them for MX. Too soft. I swapped to the uprated 8.5 springs from Ohlins but you need these:

9mm progressive also buy the preloading kit so you can adjust the springs when they are on the bike.

Think this is the fastest way to fix your rear end.
Take a trip trip B&Q and buy a plastic friction clamp. They work on internal or external applications.
Turn the jaws the other way round and they will spread the arm enough to fit the motor. I use this on my 390WR 6 speed every time I put the motor back in. Makes my life easy and stops me throwing things around the workshop.
