I'm sure that if I try to do that myself I could not make it look that nice. So for things like this I would rather use an official kit to be sure it all fits and looks nice.

Do you mean the "3 way bag" ? (

With my "normal bike" I'm used to having bags and other stuff on my back-rack. So it just seemed to be a weird place to put a bag. I would be worried it would get in the way. But that bag could stay on the bike even when folded, it is an interesting option.
But now I already put something else on the stem:
Cyclo-computer
The bontrager trip 4w on my Batavus bike turns out to have a feature to allow two different wheel sizes. So I purchased another one to have the magnet/sensor/mounting kit. That way I can click the same computer onto both bikes. So that I keep a single total distance.
After a some fiddling I got it to work. One false start was that the front fender hit the sensor when swinging the front wheel out. But by moving it down, it now just grazes the sensor but the sensor is still close enough to the magnet. (The sensor is also upside-down I think...)
Having it on the stem instead of on the handle-bar places the sensor and computer closer together. This seemed to be needed to get a good connection.
Basically it now works, and I'm afraid if I change anything it will stop.
While in the bike shop I could not resist a USB rechargeable lighting set BBB SparkCombo BLS-48 (
