You may get everything on the 29, but when I fitted 35 forks to a 23, it would bottom out heavily on the top fairing to the point of being very dangerous as they are much shorter than the 23 fork.
Even from 15mph, it nearly had me off as the forks weren't able to do their job properly.
Why 35 forks as the 23 though not as trick are far better quality. A refresh of the 29 forks would be more apt

suerly that depends on what you want the forks for...David Simon runs 35 forks on all of his 29 race bikes and regular top 3s at brands in BEMSE is hardly shabby...NC35 forks also look better.

dont get me wrong I am happy with my Maxton 29 forks but its horses for courses.

The problem is that track in Ukraine is really rubbish, but it's best one because it's only one in Ukraine :))) :pray:

We have test NC29 last Sunday and suspensions is need to be improved. The best way is set-up USD forks - so, I'm looking one that takes less efforts. I can find cbr600rr USD forks, but in this case I need front wheel also.

But is he modifying the headstock to allow the extra length or running withiout a mudguard. I would have thought the tyre would still hit the lower fairing.
I tested it as I wanted some some nice looking forks on my 23 race bike but it was too much modification to get them working safely

David Simon builds my bikes and as mentioned we run the NC35 front end with no headstock alterations. We also run a fireblade rad set high and have never had a problem with anything hitting and we've been running this for 2 full seasons, road racing and track. I personally find the suspension a lot better than the standard NC29 and the brakes are a lot, lot better with the 4 pot callipers... and they look cool as well!! :) Col
