I want to modify to have a bit more reach as I don't like an upright position and this also puts stress on the stem assembly.
Thanks (in advance) for feedback on this!!
The stem seems stiff enough. Lengthening your reach does place more strain on the riser, but the stresses are working on the hinge, not the locking pins (see pic).
Since this is a quill-style riser, it's easily replaced with something else.
