Hey Darren, Maxton did my NC35 forks and very happy with them. From when I emailed them back in 2015:
HONDA NC35
FRONT
The forks work reasonably well as a road bike but for race or track days
The front forks on the NC-35 have two problems. One is that the springs
are too soft, so the front dives under braking. The other problem is there is
not enough damping to control the original springs. This means that when
you let go of the brake or accelerate, the front of the bike extends very
quickly, causing the bike to run wide. We revalve and respring the forks to
suit your rider weight and what you are using the bike for. When we
revalve we increase the rebound damping so you do not have to run a
thicker oil in the forks. The Maxton conversion costs £350.00 plus V.A.T, we
also fit seals to the forks, these cost £25.00 plus V.A.T per pair.

Correct. I haven't decided yet if I'll try and source NC30 forks, an NC35 frame/swingarm or just say sod it and run in the full power.
