Thanks guys, have been in contact with hondaman.
Postage is pretty expensive though so have created a post in the parts seeking section to see if anyone is looking to buy a unit so we can split the costs.

Got my forks back from Dynasurf - 4 week turnaround but they look mint!

Going to work on rebuilding the rear wheel and try my hand at truing the wheels this week.
Following that I want to get tyres fitted then get the front and rear suspension mocked up for fitment and this is where my next question comes in.
Been looking at rear shocks and plenty of options out there. I did see TEC adjustable shocks as being well regarded here on the forum, but I've contacted TEC and they won't be making these anymore. Any other suggestions? Ikon, Hagon?
TEC seemed to be well priced but Ikon and Hagon options look to be a lot more expensive in some instances.
Oh, and the 48mm circlip 9452148000 for the oil seals in the forks - mine are in bad shape and need to replace them. Does anyone know the correct thickness for these?
Thanks!
Bryanj:
Both ikons and hagons are a bit long for the 500
juitz:
Hi Bryan,
The original shocks look to be 315mm eye to eye centerline (could be slightly off). These are how they were set when I took them off.

Not sure if that's the "nominal" setting.
Bryanj:
The setting does not alter length just spring preload, bothHagon(formerly girling) and koni tended to list one shocker for all the fours with different spring rates
