Can the stabilizer bar be detatched so the forks can be spread wider apart?

Yes- I have had to spread the forks to the edges of a 5' bucket to make it easier to pick up longer logs without worrying about balance. I seldom use the bar. Just be aware that bar or not , the forks are 4' long and driving them into a pile etc often moves the fork(s). I also have a wrench to tighten them . I have used the forks for a lot of things and am glad I have them.

yes, there is bolt on each end which clamps it to the fork. The bar may be removed, but the forks have a tendency to not remain pointing straight out when moving a load that is shifting.

Yes. The two forks slide through the stabilizer bar and is held in place by a bolt on each side.

I don t think so, but if so it should be stronger as it would closer to the outside edge of my bucket

Yes it ships loose and is pretty worthless anyway... hope you are not picking up anything heavy...

Yes. The handlebar holder is detatchable and can be attached in whatever way helps hold the bike in the position you need.

Yes. There is an adjustment knob on the front that both holds the handlebar in place, and can be used to raise or lower it. Unscrewing the knob completely until it came out, would allow you to remove the handlebar completely (basically the opposite of the assembly process). You will just want to make sure you are tightening the knob completely each time you use it, so it doesn't wobble during use. If I remember correctly, the tube coming up from the base which the handlebar slides into is just about knee-high or so without the handlebar attached. Hope this helps!

Yes, they are like a bicycle gooseneck and could be easily removed if necessary. I just received your message this morning and am at work so I can't measure exactly but I am pretty sure you should be all set to clear with the handlebars removed or laid down.

Yes you can. remove the bolt on the back of the mounting plat. remove the set screw. cut the bar with a metal saw. reassemble in reverse order.

No, I tried the same thing and the one I have cant hold the weight.Also leaves too big of separation between bottom and top bars.

just loosen the fastener just forward of the seat, fold handlebars, forks, and front wheel back. with the provided allen wrench, loosen the handlebars to fold sideways. Loosen the seat clamp to either remove it or allow it to lower. pretty easy to figure out.

Although this is designed for open forks, not thru axles, I'm not qualified to say you couldn't get it to work. You would certainly have to disassemble the bolt, nut and clamp each and every time you used it.

Yes, the forks can be adjusted from 24" to 48" wide. For a secure clamp, I bought two 1" nuts and use them as lock nuts after clamping to my bucket. There is an Alan screw to removed the clamp plates so you can get the 1" nuts on. Hope this helps. Jim

Yes, I think you could easily pry the bar off. It appears to be flush and attached with glue and a small tack.

I'm not sure, but it does look like you can use a small flat-head screw driver and gently remove the bar.

No. The upright handlebar is bolted to the frame. I would not recommend working the bolt loose often, which could compromise the threads.

You could, but the front of your bike may set higher than the rear. The fork is for a taller wheel.

YOu could but would not recommend it. The brackets that hold the bike in place are very hard plastic and they have scratched my bike from the bike slightly shifting and moving while driving. If you were to mount the slanted top bar bike this could cause the bike to shift even more because the weight wouldn't be evenly distributed.

There is a quick-release on the handlebar stem. It can be raised but not lowered from the original factory assembly

I believe the basket can be removed. But some disassembly near where handlebars attach would be necessary to remove a bracket if the existing bracket can't be repurposed for the bigger basket you have in mind. That said, the current bracket was preinstalled on the bike in the box, so I've never actually removed it.

Came assembled with bar and mounts together and did not attempt disassembly prior to mounting both of mine. Seems reasonable to think the bar can be removed from mounts.
