Why was the stem the first thing you changed, what's wrong with it?
well, i changed the stem/bars/brake lever at the same time.
i didn't like the stock bars, so i upgraded to a set of profile airwings, but for some reason i ordered the oversized ones, so i had to change the stem as well (now using a quill-ahead adaptor and an ahead stem with oversize clamp).
the stock stem on the 07 model was pretty heavy and ugly though...
