Perhaps this isn't a show stopper... but certainly something to consider.
It is a Brooks carradry HB bag, similar to the Ortlieb I think though, with a flip forward top hatch.
I use a second stem with an accessory bar to lower the HB bag so it will clear the aeros. I cut the profile design bars as they were attached in the center and too narrow to fit my cockpit. By making individual handles I could widen the distance and make it easier to get into the HB bag.
When I get home I'll try to post a pic of the bars from the side so you can see the clearance.
