way better off getting a new better one because i bent the stock one on our old 300 and didnt replace it and its hard as hell to turn compared to my kfx.

I used a pipe bender...like a manual hydraulic jack one.but id buy a new one if its bent pretty bad because I bent mine back and then wrecked it again at a race and it just snapped my stem in half.lol.so be careful if you bend it back because its going to be weaker now.

Can anyone else shed some light on stearing stems? i currently have one that was made for me and i got it cheap. Lasted for 3 years but finally destroyed it. im looking for a cheap replacement that will use the stock clamps.
