0700X225x0950 3711 it says on it. I will check the unloaded length. sits the same as standard when fitted

That's good to know. I'm just checking on the spring but I'm interested.
Stuart, did you buy it new and set for your weight?

it says this 0700X225x0950. guessing 225 is length of spring but not sure which is the stiffness though

Not to worry dude, I'm trying to find out from Nitron if it's suitable for my weight.
According to a spring weight calculator for the VTR I need something around an 1150lb/in spring. I'm assuming here the "0950" is the rate but we'll see

Ok I was right about the 950 part and it being under sprung for me, but I can get it re-sprung so ummm... I'll send you a PM
The NTR R1 has 7mm of length adjustment according to Nitron.
