The LTR450 stock steering stem is VERY weak. Once you upgrade to a FUELATV Steering Stem you will utilize an vibration dampening handle bar clamp to reduce vibrations from the engine and the impact of terrain. The FUELATV steering stem is made of 4130 chromoly and it will be less likely to bend in a roll-over or crash. This stem comes complete with your choice of 7/8 or 1 1/8 bar clamps and anti-vibe rubbers. FUELATV steering stems are available in (stock height) +0, +1, +2 ... black powder coated.
