Unfortunately it does sit up above the bars a bit and blocked my headlight so I remounted the light on my head tube underneath the bag. Works ok but acts a little odd when making sharp turns since I'm used to the light turning instantly when I turn the bars but now there's a lag until the whole bike frame has made the turn. Even though my bag is a very boxy shape I have noticed that I tend to descend a little faster with it than without it (comparison done on group rides while coasting down hills and seeing which riders I keep up with - with the bag I keep up with heavier riders than I do without it).
