You'll probably struggle with a Klickfix mounted one - the few I've used all project far enough forwards that they'd be in the way of the cable coming out the shifters.
Just got one of these though (I love it!) and pretty sure you'd be ok with it: https://www.ortlieb.com/en/Accessory-Pack/

I used a pair of 90deg v-brakes noodles to send the cables directly downwards out of the shifter. Gave me enough space to run either an ortlieb or bigXtop barbag.

Anyone experience of using handlebar bags with externally routed shifters (I have Tiagra 10-speed). Looking at photos, the clickfix style boxier bags look like they may project too much, but I am wondering about using a carradice zipped roll or similar.
Planning on a light/credit card tour or two this year, ~week long but staying indoors, happy to go for 1 bike outfit and 1 evening outfit. Have a Carradice SQR slim (~16 litres) which I use for cummuting and can use, but am considering if I will need a little more space/accessibility and if so whether to go for handlebar bag, in particular for stuff needed in the day (+ stem/small frame bag if it's not enough, though would like to keep access to 2x750ml bottles), or to get a rear pannier rack and 2 small panniers(http://www.carradice.co.uk/ranges/carradry/carradry-front-universal-panniers-old-design) then likely ditching the SQR slim. Bike (Genesis Vapour Disc) has rear pannier mounts but ~no chance of using front pannier rack.
