Can you post a picture of your bars? I bet we could figure out a way to load a few things on your bars.
Last tour I started out with a stuff sack on my bars with a paracord loop. You could make another loop around the head tube for added stability.
The brakes can be moved in a little but not out at all.
I tried as I said but didn't like it. I think I'll be okay with my 40 degree bag. It works for me in temperatures down to +10 and I doubt it'll get that cold on my trip.
