Project RD250C took a hot today when the "RD250" forks I got from evilbay turned out to be 32.5mm dia, not 34.
Can anyone shed some light on this? These forks also do not have the castellated top bung (more like an lc setup), and the caliper mounting holes are spaced wider apart.
Thanks for any advice, before I go back to the seller!

Hi Norbo,
OK the bike is a C. I measured the original forks on the bike at 34mm. This is correct for the C. Later they changed them to 35mm on the E/F.
So what are these 32.5mm ones I've been sent.... hmmm.

They are not LC, RD400C or RD250E, just checked mine.
The mounts for the caliper look similar to those on my 250E.
I haven't seen a bridge across the mudguard studs before.
Could it be that these are off an XS model??? One with 32mm
forks and a single disc?
Might be best to see if there is an XS forum and see if someone
can help there.
Sorry I can't be much help.
PS have you checked the aircooled forum?

If they are 33mm (which is what I think) they might be
XS 360 or 400 or 250. Just found a diameter chart, but
it does not list everything.

Yes, could be 33mm. Looking at ebay equivalents, they look very similar. I'll get back to the ('well known in the media' ebay seller).
Thanks to all contributors for helping.
