I have not experienced any flex on a Nitto 75 stem with 123AA bars.
Neither have the pro keirin guys who let me work out with them.
That said NJS stuff is all about licensing and ensuring that no rider is limited or advantaged by equipment. The standard is older than you are and there is no claim within the standard as to the quality of the manufacture aside from it meeting some ISO reqs for bike parts.
I don't understand why US folks have such *****s for NJS gear. If I could I'd be riding an Anchor CF frame and using modern equipment but since I am riding on a Keirin track at the invite of Keirin guys I bought an all NJS bike from them to comply with the safety regulations. YMMV depending on where you live, who you know and who you blow to get onto the track.
That said, you must be one big mother to be flexing a Nitto stem.
Not sure how you would flex a Hatta Swan headset either.
p.s. - I know you were taking the piss dude, relax. I'm just bored and sore from racing this weekend.
