The steering stem? does it looks like this but black?

Seat covers on average cost $50.

you mean that little piece that holds the wires on the left side of the bar clamp? if thats touching i think your stem is way bent. not exactly sure what your talking bout though. little more info would help :square

Well the one I have in the picture I posted earlier costs around $350 and $80 for the antivibe mount. But this isan extended steering stem since I'm tall.

You can get a stock one from Honda of Troy for $42.

You can get an aftermarket one between 200-350 or stock is like 50 bucks i think.

i am pretty sure that i will get a stock steering stem if i cant find someone to bend it back for me i done messed up the plastic by the gas cap so i been riding it .. it dont ride any different..

i can not believe one flip will fluck something up like that.. that sucks does anyone know how hard it is to install ?

if it isnt affecting how you steer, you should just shave it down and then no more scratches
