Or you could just raise the front end and drop the wheel down 

@Sir Fallsalot and @YamaHead perhaps you should get in touch and tell Alan you know better 

Nemesis Update!!

Here’s a little update from great friend of The National Motorcycle Museum and ultra talented engineer and custom bike builder, Allen Millyard on the strip down and rebuild of the legendary, Norton Nemesis.

“I have been really busy filming and also getting ready for the London show so I haven’t had an opportunity to have a proper look at the v8 engine just yet.

And before I make it go fast, I thought I should make it stop and turn corners! So I’ve stripped out the front end and gone through the brakes and forks replacing seals and oil.

I was surprised I could get the fork seals easily online for a fiver each! And the brake seals were regular quad seals and I had some in stock left over from my mountain bike Hyperride shocks that I made a few years ago so it was good that I kept them

The Nemesis has the strangest front end I’ve stripped, the wheel can’t be removed without first removing the forks from the bike as a whole assembly and removing the discs from the wheel. The reason being is that half of the front mudguard and whole brake caliper are cast as one with a fork leg. The discs are mounted radially to the rim, so if I try and pull the wheel down the discs hit the calipers and if I raise up the wheel it hits the cast mudguard! Not a great design for maintenance or quick tyre changes…

The forks and wheel are back together now and refitted to the bike and I’m pleased that the front brake works nicely, I’ve also sorted the rear brake, so in the next couple of weeks I’ll be taking out the engine for a proper look."

Stay tuned for more updates….COMING SOON!
