Will the basket get in the way of a headlight, or is this basket mounted in a position to allow the use of a headlight unfettered?

If the light is mounted on the reflector tab you will be fine, however if the light is being mounted on the handlebar, you might have issues as the basket mounts on the handlebar and lays on the headtube.

I think that in most applications, the basket would not affect the installation of a headlight. The basket is below the handlebars so you should be able to find a place for mounting.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

it has a light under the basket in front that the basket does not block and it has a tail light on each side by the back tires

I did not have any issues with lopsidedness and I feel the basket is very well made. You may need to move your bikes front reflector to avoid interference with the reflector and basket.

It is installed upright in the lantern but it works in any position. I do not know if leaving it on its side for a longer period of time will have an adverse affect.

The basket is bolted in place. It is not designed for fast and easy removal.

There is a 2 1/2" off set from the top of the hitch to the bottom of the basket. This can be turned to where the off set is turned up to where the basket is higher or turned down to where the basket is lower.

The position of the adapter does not affect its function, the "eye " must have minimal obstruction and just tight enough so it won't fall off. One of the terminals is spring loaded which at times could lead to a tighter than necessary installation.

I have never done that with the basket and it is not mentioned in the directions that it can be used that way. However, I suppose that it could be secured to a rear bike rack somehow. One would have to figure out a safe way to attach it since there are no tie downs specifically for that purpose.

It will fit fine but won't work as prescribed because you may experience some spacing between the rim and the lights. In other words it won't match up perfectly & light won't be displaced correctly as it needs the rim to bounce light off to the side

The basket hangs in front and is removable. The larger wheels help on uneven ground.

it would definitely get in the way. The basket needs to clamp onto the crossbars so anything already on the crossbars would get in the way of the basket

The mounting bracket for both the headlight and tail light are circular in shape, so they wouldn't adapt exactly to an oval bar. But it's a compression fit, so as long as the large diameter of the oval bar fits in the bracket it should be OK. Having said that, on my bike, which has round bars, the bars are quite a bit smaller than the mounting bracket, so I need to pad the gap with some rubber (a piece of inner tube works fine). You could use the same approach.

The basket itself is one piece. The basket does need to be attached to the hitch bar.

I'm not sure but the basket mounting is pretty universal and it does have thumb screws to hold it securely

You have to relocate it to a place that is visible and has a light. My vehicle had an alternate location to the side that works fine.
