Default Bent stem?

Has anyone seen or tried to make a bent stem for the handlebars? No, I'm not refering to ordinary bent mtb stems but more like an equivalent of this kind of bent seat post http://spookytoothcycles.com/images/...ucts/36437.jpg

I'm planning to make one, bent forward, in order to make a "longer" boardtracker.

Couldn't you just turn yours around 180 degress to face forward then flip the handlebars over? Just a thought. Or maybe you're looking for a longer reach?

The one I have is already turned forward, as on many bikes, but I want a longer and more extreme bend like the seatpost example I linked to as a comparison.
