Hi I've just measured the ones I took out of my TX. 390mm. I think that they are the correct standard length.
I replaced them with these; https://www.heidentuning.com/xs650-...ront-fork-springs-34-mm-70-76-set-detail.html
They are hopefully an improvement.

That is within a few mm. of mine. I was wondering if there's is a service manual free length spec.
I cut a spacer an inch longer than stock, and the springs coil bound at about 3.5" travel. I just cut .5" off. Now have about 30% sag with rider. Not sure if I get full 5 inches travel yet.
New springs are likely in my future as well.

I don't recall seeing any specifications for the springs. I just jumped straight in with the uprated springs as I was doing a full rebuild.
