If you noticed the bump steer problems with your O.E.M. stem and want to eliminate them, check out this steering stem. Houser changed the location of the steering stem bottom to fix this problem. The Houser Steering Stem is backed by more then ten years of developing and testing ATV suspension and chassis components resulting in one of the most durable ATV steering stems available. The Houser steering stem is constructed out of TIG welded 4130 chromoly steel for improved strength. The extended Houser steering stem (+1", +1.25", +1.50", +2") is ideal for the taller rider or anyone looking to increase the height of their controls for improved riding geometry. All Houser steering stems use extra large gussets at the handlebar support and tie rod mounts to improve strength and help prevent bending. Tie rod location has been moved to optimize handling. Forward curved bar clamp mount tube on top with large gussets.
