I am still running my Odyssey stem 20 years after I bought it.
That's one of the later versions, they had a different stem bolt.

retro,

make sure it's not a Torker stem, they look VERY simular. sometimes the odyssey has a rounded back too.

Torker = SAE/american bolts

Odyssey = metric bolts

Speaknig of bolts, good luck getting those broken-off ones out of there. Yuck.

An easy out will get rid of those cut off bolts. If the threds are gone...use a helicoil.

easiest way to get the bolts out(at least for me) is to take a welder and weld on some metal the snapped off remnants...enough where you can get a vice grip on to the welding. the heat and expansion will loosen it and presto, its out. I use this method for getting snapped off muffler bolts out of Briggs small engine blocks. theyre aluminum as well and the welding doesnt hurt the aluminum.
