To the best of my knowledge, the euro ones have stiffer springs.

They certainly are soft
Do you know if they are the same length and diameter ie if a buy springs for a 96 European model will they fit
Cheers

Pretty sure they are softer. Forks are same diameter etc so uk spec '96 onwards springs are ok.
You could mess with oil quantity and thickness but I would just slide in some springs first to see how it feels. Can also do this without taking forks out.
Put up a wanted post for some springs.
I have a standard uk spec pair off a bike that had done 20,000 if u are interested....
