I finally got the suspension back together on my 1995 KX250 which I took apart back in February. I had the fork tubes anodized blue, and replated the shock hardware. I also removed the gouging from the fork lugs and polished up the shock body. I bought a new shock spring for my weight and thankfully it matches the forks.
