Maybe you're speaking from real life crashing experience here 88 Turbo Coupe, because a 250R's forks don't bend from jumping, they bend from crashing!
A fork brace won't do a thing and you can't "just put on" new technology inverted forks. Doing so is a major undertaking that requires precision machine work and custom made parts.
Badpig, have your shock rebuilt and valved for your weight and riding style. Rebuild the forks, replace the seals if they're leaking and use 20w, 25w or 30w fork oil and see if that works for you. They probably need rebuilding anyway and for about $30, this might solve your problem. If it still needs to be set up heavier, you can always add the new springs later. If not, you'll be money ahead and can put it towards your pipe and reeds.
