I need to mount this on my stem, not the handlebar. Which means that I need to be able to adjust it horizontally. Can this be done?

I am not sure but I do not think so. I will check and get back to you ASAP.

The headlamp can twist about 15º in either direction from the mounting band. You'd have to measure the angle of the stem on your bike and, of course, you'd like it to be angled slightly downward to light up the road not straight ahead. My guess is mounting it the way you want may be a problem.

This could be difficult. It can be easily mounted on the handlebar and helmet but I do not imagine how can be attached to the stem.

You can if you use the helmet mount. You might have to be creative with the velcro alignment to get it snug.

The problem is that their is no adapter fitting--the piece that fits over the center stem. If you have this piece yes--if not, NO.

The stem riser is installed in the spot where the handle bars connect to the bike frame. It's very simple to do. Pop the cap off the top of the center bar between the handle bars, unscrew the center screw holding it in place, loosen the clamp securing the bars in position, remove bars. Insert the riser, replace the handle bars, screw down into the riser, then tighten the clamp being sure you've lined up the bars properly. Honestly, realigning the bars was the hardest part for me cause I was working by myself.

You could but the clamping mechism is a thick rubberband vs. a traditional clamp like you see on many of the higher end brands. I would not recommend mounting it to the fork. There are companies that make handle bar entensions your type of situation.

The mount is fixed by silicone bands, you can adjust the angle of it on the handlebar as you need....

I doubt it will work, that mount is meant to be placed on bicycle handlebars and once it is tightened with zip ties does not allow it to rotate.

Yes, if you want your bike to be mounted perfectly horizontaly you will need to purchase a expansion bar ( not sure of proper name for it ) that creates a mounting surface like a mans bike, it extends from the seat mount to the handlebar mount. Thule makes them and can be purchased at most better bike stores. I believe it was about $35.00. I have seen womens bikes mounted without this bar but your bike is mounted very lopsided. I also use several bungee cords to also secure my bike to the mount so it does not sway. this is a great rack, easy to take off and on. I leave mine on all summer and take off in the winter and put my tire cover back on.

You press a rather flimsy button and lift the basket off. The mounting bracket will not be appropriate for all handlebar and stem combinations. But I don't know how to guage this other than by trying it.

Well, seeing as your bike is threadless, if you wanted to do a real conversion, and have a full threadless setup, you'd need new forks, a new headset, and a stem. Those things get very expensive, very fast, and have little benefeit. So stick with one of these, just not this one. :)

It appears it will work without the custom brackets. If you could post a picture from the rider's position shooting towards the handlebars and mirrors, that would help us now for sure. But otherwise, if not, you could either return them or purchase the custom brackets.

That is a hard question to answer not knowing what you have on the bike already. There are two things that will make you lean on your hands too much. One is the handlebars too low and the other is reaching too far. If the length of this stem is the same as the one you currently have. It will both raise you and shorten your reach at the same time. I'm sorry without more information I can't really answer your question with a yes or no.

It is designed to fit on the handlebar stem (usually a much larger diameter than the handlebar). I first used it on the handlebar with some shims, but now I have it on the stem as designed. It works slightly better on the stem, but can be used in either way (stem or handlebar). It is very adjustable as to diameter of bar, height and position - I don't think there will be any problem getting it to fit and adjusting it to your personal preferences. I like it a lot, but it has loosened up on me twice - easily tightened on the ride with an allen wrench. I now keep the allen bolts very tight and it hasn't loosened up again.

I think you have to use the bracket. You might be able to mount it directly, but you may have to use/purchase an alternate screw

There is only 1.75" clearance between the two handle bar grabbing brackets, and it's not adjustable. If you have a large square joint where the handle bars connect to the stem, it may not fit. You may need a handle bar bag that is more adjustable.

It doesnt adjust side to side, only up and down. Maybe at a bend in the handle bars. It comes with rubber shims and will fit a large diameter, or shim down very small.

Yes. That's what I do. It does it all. I mounted to a post tho so not 100% your handle bars will clear (if mounted to a wall). I have a support post floor to rafters (4x4) that mine is lag bolted into. Measure your bars center of stem to end to make sure the mount is long enough to accommodate...

Not with the mount as it comes with the bell. It is made for a narrow handlebar. You might be able to mount it with extended screws.
