Note: Posted this over in the road forum, but figured maybe some of the mechanics may have experience messing with this type of thing even though its not such a mechanic topic.

So I admit, whenever I first purchased my bike I jumped the gun and with little research purchased a Shimano Flight Deck. I purchased the wired kit because I figured I really didn't need the wireless setup. Now weeks down the road I have my problem. The flight deck works great, but the mounting bracket sucks because it does not have a clamp for oversized bars. They make a 31.8mm bar-clamp for the wireless version, but it does not fit the wired version correctly(smart move Shimano). So now I am stuck with leaving my computer in an odd position on my bars which in turn reduces the real estate I have for my hands up top.

Has anybody else had this same problem and figured out an adequate fix? I would really like to position the computer directly over the stem, and if the plan required a lot of modification I wouldn't even mind placing the unit on the actual stem itself. I would much prefer that setup, but I don't know if I am going to get my way on this one.

Having to position the unit to the right, where the handle bar tapers down to the smaller diameter.


A better view of how the handle bar is tapered.
