You could always go for a rando-style decaleur rack. No weight attached to the handlebars at all.

So I kinda feel stupid, after getting my handlebar bag in the mail and looking it over, there is nothing on it the papers about not using it on carbon handlebars, nor when I go back and look at the webpage do I see any of the warnings that most the rest carried. Might be worth a look, although the mounting bracket looks suspiciously like other most other bags.
It is a Blackburn Barrier.

The Ortlieb bag's mounting bracket is a figure 8 of plastic coated cable to fit the bar bag mount on the bars..
Klick fix uses 2 plastic U brackets around the bars, then a loop of cable
to keep the bracket from rotating, with weight in it..
Klick Fix brackets will hang Ortlieb's bags from them
Either should be fine with carbon bars, belt & braces wrap some gaffers tape where the wires will go ,
to cover the lacquered epoxy.
I have a wire KF bag support, and found it works with a blue Eclipse bag, I also have..
You can make a way to fit the elastic shock cord to those D rings on the bag , if you try..
Internet seems to kill independent problem solving, I conclude, as I continue to read posts on this Forum.
