Someone should buy a bunch of them and sell them for double that to unsuspecting (and still grateful) Canadians at Inzane. I'd take a couple. I paid $16 for 2. https://fortnine.ca/en/show-chrome-big-bike-parts-90deg-nickel-valve-stem-5-802And if someone from the States would also bring me a Clearview vented 19" windshield to Inzane and save me $150 in shipping, I'd appreciate it.

I'm not going to be able to make it because of work. But I'm sure someone could bring the Clearview for you. Sidle up to Willow. He gives away the tire valve stems to friends.

Order it just in time to be shipped to the Inzane hotel (when you're sure you're going) care of (c/o) the VRCC Inzane Rally. Order like a month early, they usually have a few week build time, then have them mail it ground (cheap) 5-7 days before kickoff. It'll still cost, but not near $150.

$16 for ONE would have been a bargain when compared to having my front rubber stem start leaking 300 miles from home!

Absolutely.
$2 or $16, either way, it's still pocket change to make you safer.
I've got no issue with some company making a buck for a good product, so $16...whatever. Actually, I have no idea how that place is making a dime selling them for $2 and free shipping???

I know everyone would use the 90 degree stem for the back tire. What about the the front tire? Straight stem right.  or do some of you use a 90?

I bought a few, a few more than I needed. If the shipping is free, I help them and myself, by spending what I saved on the shipping, by buying some more items.
