[QUOTE="davidd, post: 104962, member: 1177"] Carleton Palmer has bought one of my stems ( I only made a few before my machine shop closed). He has the JE stem and Carleton very good at those type of comparisons, but it is a matter of when. Right now I am quick to recommend the JE stem, but I am also happy to have made my own for my usage. Carleton Palmer loves the handling of his D Shadow. He says it is the equal of any street bike he has ridden (brakes excepted). I thought this thread was important to show that there were two ways to achieve good handling and that folks should ask some detailed questions if the steering stem had been changed. This way there would be no surprises. I have shared the design freely, but you never know what changes a manufacturer might make. Patrick was very clear to me that he used my geometry "exactly". But, I am not sure how many bikes got the modified stem. David [/QUOTE]
