In the photo of the bike at Kezar, he mentions 2 complete systems of bar, stem, cables, etc., so he just disconnects the cables, loosens the stem bolt and changes out the entire assembly. Pretty simple solution and will get you away from messing with bar coverings, brakes, shifters, etc. All for the price of a second stem. And you probably wouldn't use the same stem on drops as you would on uprights anyway.
