just got my new EKO stem and bars in the mail. i place my order on thursday on got them on monday. the quality of this thing is awsome and it feels super light. i got a chromoly version +2 since i will be running low bars. the clamp is a thing of beauty for sure and its made to run 1 1/8" bars. i can't wait to throw this on my bike hopefully later this week or next. i have a lot of school, school work, and work to do so be patient. here are some pics...

this is a good inexpensive option if you are trying to shave weight off the bike. very good for drag racing!

can you post and upper and lower picture of the metal where the tie-rods fasten?

Looking at it from what you've posted, I would say that thin metal is suspect that it won't bust thus letting the tie-rod end pop out.

It wasn't designed to take alot of abuse. It was designed to save weight for dune riding and dragracing.

exactly! i forgot to mention this is going on a drag specific bike. don't plan on clearing any table tops or triples with this.

here is a pick of my bike for those not familiar with it.
