Short leg Short Boom mod Quest/QX100 Option 2: Boom and slider just below handlebar

Guru-me-not
This thought was started by reading an advertisement posted in the Marketplace:
Quest Q559 - $700 - Boulder, CO
http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/quest-q559-700-boulder-co.11782/#post-138034

I was/am thinking of possibly purchasing this Quest but if the owner still has interest in Cruzbiking then better to help them become a member of the tribe.

So let's follow along my thought patterns:

Option 1: Shorten Boom and Slider - see thread "Short leg Short Boom mod Quest/QX100 Option 1: Shorten Boom and Slider"

Option 2: Change Boom and Slider to stem joint location see

-move slider stem clamp that is just above the headset up to just under the handlebar stem. This may require shims to fit the top of the fork extension and may require an additional stem or clamp at the headset I have not tried this, it is a thought.. Has anyone tried this? Any issues, thoughts, suggestions, etc.

If I have the words wrong for the parts please let me know for my edification and so I can update the post.

Probably would not work for tall people because it would require very long boom/slider combination similar to S and V series.
