fish, that's a good find on those used ones and the length. they look different from the 1985 250 front shocks, but I can say with certainty they are the same length. if @Tb smith doesn't get those, some of these on this list look to be same lenght and eye diameter: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...0mm+shock.TRS1.TSS0&_nkw=250mm+shock&_sacat=0 which i had considered before putting on our old 250's
