Putting the swing grip under the stem was plan A. Wouldn't work with the Cantiliever brake housing stop where it is unless I had about another 1-2cm length stem.

That way when i get a flat at o'dark thirty on a rainy morning I can just flip my bike over to fix the flat and not have to worry about damaging my lights.
Very good point! Hadn't thought of this and certainly something to consider. Thanks for the 'in the real world' reality check.
