Handlebar bag for the Q45?

[SofRider29]

Anyone have any suggestions for a handlebar bag for the Q45? I'm mainly looking for something to hold and clearly display Adventure Cycling maps, and was wondering if anyone has had luck with this model:

Adventure Cycling Association Map Case - Handlebar & Stem Bags

A perfect fit for Adventure Cycling's national route maps. Drop in the appropriate panel face up in the case, use the Velcro straps to attach the case to your handlebars and your adventure begins. Viewing size 9 1/2"

Hello Dave, that's a good 'find'. If you try it let us know how it works.
From the pic it looks like that map holder depends on support from the handlebar stem for support in the middle of the holder. I wonder if there is a way to get that to work with the boom/slider of the Q. If so that would be really useful.

In my 15 years of riding bents, handlebar bags either hit my knees or obstruct my view ahead. Maybe something small enough to fit on one side or the other , with your cell phone or computer on the other, leaving the center open.
