I used it for packing an uncoupled bike. The next bike will be SS
coupled. By undoing the front bolts on the MOTUS stem you can position the
handlebars in the box (in your case the SS case) as needed. Just make sure
that your cables have enough slack, or disconnects. This is very similar to
what I do for my tandem when I pack it in its bikepro case.

the bars wasn’t enough to get the bike into the case safely, and this stem
allowed you to take the bars off altogether without affecting taping,
controls, etc.?

in 2001 I purchased a 3T MOTUS quill stem with removable faceplate
(held on by 2 bolts). Enclosed are a couple of photos, one of which is a
little blurry. They show the stem. Maybe you can find one somewhere. This
is a great stem because you can pull the handlebars off without having to
untape, or remove controls.
Here is a listing for one on ebay:

Mine has worked for 13 years and 35,000 miles

Hello Bunch, SS-coupled Riv owners:
I am getting my 59 cm Hilsen retrofitted with SS couplers. It's not a
gigantic frame but not exactly a small frame either. I already anticipate a
couple of issues and would like a couple of tips.
1/ Handlebar: is there such thing out there as a quill stem w/ removable
front plate? is it worthwhile to investigate threadless adapter + ahead
stem?
2/ Fork: (not sure yet if I'll need to remove it) anybody tried the the
Velo Orange rinko headset? (or have a spare American Classic Trilock?)
Anything things you've learned over the years to make packing/un-packing
easy? Or add. tools/gears?
Thank you.
Pierre
