Custom Steamer Product: Sunn Radical lowering shock shuttle
This is a new product I have recently machined up for a mate who rides on board a Sunn Radical. Only slightly heavier than the stock product it gives a good way to adjust the bike for different tracks and make the bike handle better in general
Can be fitted with 3, 2, 1 and zero offset so get optimal Geo for any track.
Contact Kev if intrested in the product.

DHR Exclusive.
Steamer Industries recently got an old Turner DHR in to be updated and restored.
The bike came into me with a sick paint job but mechanically and geometrically was a bit outdated.
The the linkage and swingarm in needed a good bit of fixing.
I fitted a new linkage, bearings bolts and seals.
I then drilled the swingarm to update the geometry, there were also a few pinch bolts I had to drill out and re-thread in the too.
After all this was done I went around the the whole bike and gave it a full service and set up the suspension for the rider.
After all this the DHR was ready for the hill!
Came in a bit haggard but is now solid!
Geo before BB 14.6" HA 65 deg
Geo after BB 13.65" HA 63 deg
Customer came to collect her toady and was very happy with the result.
Keep 'em tidy!

Steamer Industries Maxle Kit
Maxle Kit
Had a friend over recently with a maxle in rag order, came up with this simple solution.
No more faffing about with stupid dodgy maxles with this on your bike. Lighter, stronger, simple and effective.
Made from 6082 T6 aluminium and uses a polymer washer so as not to damage your fork lower and is SUPER light
Sits flush and looks clean ( only available in Ireland.)
Maxle Kits are a perfect solution to fixing a broken maxle or to end the hassle with the complicated system in place at the moment. Not just a fix but also an upgrade!
Kits range from € 20 including fitting. New maxles cost up to 80 euro, why bother when you can fix or upgrade at Steamer Industries.
Anyone intrested contact Kev at
Contact me at Kevin@watermarkeng.ie or +353 851331104
