Neil,

That '03 stem is not only bent it's twisted as well! Look at the distance from the dampener mount to the table on the '02 & '03 stems.

I recently installed the lsr stem i got from jwheat....its just like the 03...you can tell that is is much different from my 2002 "#1" stem in the sense of leverage...

Good stuff, here. I thought there were only two versions. Learn something new everyday.

With the way the factory kept changing things up (and maybe grabbing old stuff out of parts bins?) I wouldn't be surprised if an '03 model like "thedeatons" had an earlier stem.
