Where is the stem riser installed? In place of the headset? I think the stem on the Zike is the part with the faceplate clamped around the handlebars.

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.

Ask at your local bike shop, I think there's something called a "stem extender" that might work.

It's a taper fit. You can pop it off with a ball joint tool (fork) or a wedge of some sort. I even used a large screwdriver and a mallet... Then just install a new one with a sharp strike to set the taper.

John,the STS model you are already sitting straighter.Why would you want to put risers on it?I don't believe there was any changes to the handle bars in size. It's just how high they sit.I do believe there would not be any problem with fit.Have fun riding!

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.

Hi Lindsey. I initially had it in my topcase, but that muffles the sound. This weekend I'm going to velcro it behind my scoot's backrest, set it off, and learn how it sounds. I'll need to remember to unstick it before I drive off, however . . . my "old" scoot was stolen this Easter and I've so far remembered to take off the throttle lock, disc brake lock, cable lock, and turn off this audible alarm before I ride off. What a massive pain, but better safe than sorry again.

It's on the end. One end comes apart so you can insert it in a USB port (in your car or computer) and the other has a hole for the headset. Hope this helps.

On my 2004 Suzuki DR650, this was mounted on top of the handle bar risers, longer bolts and some spacers from the hardware store were required for access to the fork lock/ignition keyhole.For the KTM, maybe this will help.http://www.jebruns.com/03ktm_pictures.htmlhttp://www.jebruns.com/pictures/450_TT_dashboard_022603.jpg

I put this handlebar on an old 1980-ish Panasonic DX-2000 10-Speed road bike to replace the drop bars that came on it. The stem was also dropped, which further aggravated the "drop bar" issue. I replaced the drop stem with a riser stem that raised the handlebar about 6" from its original position. The brake levers wouldn't work, and I was able to salvage some levers from an old Schwinn. The bike is far, far more comfortable to ride now, and I'm real happy with the result.

My husband puts his between his handle bars on his bike on the main stem. Hopefully this helps!

The stem is the distance between the two mounts. If you have the current bike fit perfectly for you the raised position will give a more comfortable ride. However, a stem too short Mayake you bend your back or arms more than what is comfortable. While unlikely a stem too long will make you ride with arms too stretched for comfort.

Jay F. I used the stem mount that came with my Topeka ride case but Iam pretty sure there was a bar mount in the packaging also. I love this case I've actually had one crash with the case on my bike and there was no damage to the phone and it didn't even come loose. On the down side some time later I droped the phone and cracked the back glass. I didn't even notice it until I removed the case several days later. I've had the case for two years now and it's been a great addition to my bike

I had to remove a 5mm spacer to get it to fit properly. That is the same as the 490 degree Bontrager stem which I suspect is made by the same place. Having to drop the stem this additional 5mm somewhat negates the additional rise, but not completely.

Maria...Is this happening on turns? If so it is because as you make the corner your handlebars turn and ultimately 'dip' as you go through the corner. That feature doesn't have an option to enable/disable. You'd think the folks that design these things would think beyond the dashboard and consider it may be mounted on a bicycle, motorcycle, or something. I'm guessing by now you've found a better solution, but if not...just don't make turns...lol.

Under 'What's in the box" it lists 'Bike Mount'. This is the standard mount which places the unit directly on your handlebar or stem. The 'Out Front' style mount has to be purchased seperately, either from Garmin or someone like K-Edge. You may as well just go with what's in the box and see if it suits you. If not, you can easily pick up an 'Out Front' at a later date.

2, handle bar shaft, & the deck. You connect them with the Allen wrench provided in the box. Just make sure that they line up or the wheel will be crooked. Don't tighten it too much or you can risk cracking the headset.
