I’ve completely stripped down the bike to install a new headset, adjustable stem, and cruiser bars to give my mum a more upright riding position - see my thread on the subject.

FYI - The stock headset is made by FSA and uses their ACR system. The stem is then keyed to fit the headset spacers and has provision for the front brake hose to be routed via the top which the ACR standard calls for. You can buy FSA ACR stem spacer kits, but the stem from factory is already set at the highest position on the steerer tube, so that option is a no-go as it would be unsafe to go any higher.
