You can flip the stem upside down, that would allow you to move some spacers from above the stem to below it. The reason for that would be that you could cut off less steerer tube, then later if you decide you wanted the bars higher, you could flip the stem again. For that reason, I also like to leave an extra 10mm spacer above my stem, just in case.
Is that a taillight or reflector on the rear fender? I do not see mention of a taillight, but it looks a bit like a Secula. If it is a taillight, it looks like it might be aimed too high for the traffic behind you to see the brightest part of the beam, in which case there are a couple holes drilled in your fender in the wrong place. If it is a taillight, it should have a stand light so after riding it to charge up the capacitor, you can get off the bike and see where the brightest part of the beam shines.
Great looking bike.
