... its how unstable I am when I try to shift ...

then drop the stem shifter idea.

That is where Bar end shifters are good. you are holding on with both hands
while you are shifting, .. both at once if needed..
thumb shifters also let you leave your hands on the bars , just move them a little.

i have used sun tour's Bar end shifters on multi month international tours
never any problems ..
