This is on a Vado 5 with the Headlight off the stem :
Reading all the threads and taking what I learned to purchase Stems . I bought a Stem Riser /Adjustable . Along with a Steering tube extension . It raised everything fine. I did however notice in order to get the handle bars closer . Which was my main goal in the first place . They ended up father away .
SO on the advice of buddies who do the MTB thing . I kept the extender , but used a 50MM 0 degree MTB Stem . First in looked badass. More importantly it brought my handle bars in considerably more then a 100 MM stem set at 60 Degrees . I also tried this Short flat stem with no steering tube riser and a Set of 50mm Riser Bars .
Yeah I know a Longer high angled stem does place you higher . To move your bars closer you'd have to adjust the Stem almost to 90 Degrees . Which would not only be way to high > It looks stupid LOL
Sadly My Vado has the Stem mounted light . I can't find a mount to use on the Fender . Which is really poor service on Specialized part . From pictures it looks like it would attach to any of their Fenders .
I'll likely settle for the 50MM Handle bars and call it good for now .
