I am not sure what type of handlebar bag you have installed, but with a classic bag on a very small front rack and there is room for aerobars. See my setup below. I am 5'8" so the handle bars are not high and the sizable bag is well below the bars. I am not sure I would like the look but it should work with room to open the bag.
