cause, they like the low bend bars... and aftermarket stems have the anti-vibes.... for now I'll stick with my stocker and Renthals..

You accomplish a wider flatter bend with the bars, like the CR Hi bend Renthals I am running, but you lose the tall rise of stock style bars in the process. Adding the +1 stem makes the riding more comfortable both sitting AND standing especially like when setting for jumps and what not. You accomplish both goals... Obtain a flatter wider bend for greater handling and stability, and retain a comfortable rise without the horrible swept back, narrow stock bend...

True Dat- I was thinkin of buyin a +1 stem myself as I run some low T2s and I still feel a bit hunched over with the stock stem.
