I have used a R&K handlebar mount bolted onto a alpkit Joey with a piece of plastic for support with a 13l roll bag.
If you look on FB bike and bivi page Craig bevan has raised the subject and I have posted some pictures
Sorry the pictures I took are too big to post here

Re: Bar roll bracket ( instead of a harness)

Re: Bar roll bracket ( instead of a harness)

to me the R&K is the way to go so the bars are free I am just interested in the way you did it?

Mkettle ( small Gillie kettle)
Any thoughts this looks like a great bit of kit for bike packing, no fuel needed to carry ( just collect as required) and very quick boiling
