Looks nice! However the stem looks a bit high from what I've seen on this forum.

Before you do, play around with their locations. You can stack spacers ON TOP of the stem, then place the top cap on. As long as the top cap bolt reaches the star nut, you're in good shape.

IOW, before you go a cuttin, get a ridin with the stem in differunt pose it chuns!
