Got a pic of that setup clarion?
Thinking of doing a touch of light touring on my racer with a seatpost rack and need to avoid carrying my heavy tent.
Cant get a bar bag either what with cables being all over the place.
So need to keep it under 10kg.

Um...no pics, I'm afraid.  It's years since I did it, and it didn't overlap with my interest in photography ;D
Getting there...

If your bike is securely fixed, it's basically just a pole.  You will probably need to adjust your guying on your bike from 90 degrees to a bit forward to stop the front from lifting.
