[QUOTE="davidd, post: 176580, member: 1177"] I do not know the specifications of the Godet stem I know Patrick used my design, but he built it also. I also have no idea about the bearings he chose, the specs for the headstock, or the lock wiring he used on any nuts, including the stem nut. David Tompkins has run my aluminum stem for four years and has had zero issues. David may not be near IOM riding status at present, but he has four national championships using the Vincent so his lap times have lowered quite a bit in the past few years, which means he is putting forces into the chassis that are much higher than the average rider would generate. The stem is a solid aluminum rod, not a tube. It does have a 5/16" hole for the damper rod, but such a hole does not reduce the strength. David [/QUOTE]
