A few litres fit between the aerobars and 8l can be strapped under them, it looks like this:
It's fine for clothes, sleepingbag and such, if you pack it tightly. The bag needs to be the right size and packed well to fit firmly, better to not put anything you need often in it. That's an Alpkit drybag with loops for the straps.

Has anyone tried just fitting tri-bars or even draft legal tri bars and then strapping everything to them? By the time you've priced up the various handlebar harnesses and looked at the total mess they make of the front end, it just looks as though it would be an easier and similarly priced solution with the added advantage of an extra position on the bike.
I've played around with strapping stuff to the bars, but I really like being able to rest my hands on the bar tops. I used a Topeak compact handlebar bag for a while, but it's sagging badly now, and isn't waterproof which is a shame as at 8l it's the perfect size.
