This thing is massive and heavy compared to the standard track. Installation is fairly easy, but setup may take a few extra minutes. Make sure the axle is centered before connecting. Take your measurements and adjust the bar BEFORE installing it as it is non-adjustable once installed! Once installed, it's rock solid. I've already repositioned the steering stabilizer so I'm not sure about the gap to the stem. I really took my time and did it in less than an hour.
