Extra battery.

Rechargeable pack for a really serious front light like the Cree models.

Another drinks bottle.

A handy toolkit and puncture repair stuff in a bottle shaped container.

A small animal carrier for your Gerbil to enjoy the ride in!

Umm!

With that lighting, you are definitely missing a set of truck style air horns, so maybe a vertically mounted trio in that space?

How about one of these

Minoura AB-1600 PET cage for bicycle water bottle 1~1.5L

Then put a nice bottle of "insert wine of your choice" in it for emergencies ! Malbec for me please


Guess you could also put large bottles of beer in it too (Leffe style)

And a more sensible thought is one of these

Kuat Bike Bottle Lock in Black - Innovative and Secure Bicylce Lock / Chain Design (Also available in White and Pink): Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Essentially its a 5 foot 8mm cable lock hidden inside a water bottle

I know you said you did not want a lock but perhaps you had a more clasic D-lock in mind ?

Actually at 8mm I think this rather more a secondary lock or an emergncy lock. No way as secure as a D

like the bottle container tool thing ...

I bought quite a decent one a few years ago fairly cheaply in B&Q. I don't know if they still sell them,

BTW how did you go about mounting your water on the handlebars? Would like to do this so that my 'D' lock bracket will fit better. I'll get a bigger saddlebag for the tools and stuff.

NVM...

I love the demo photo of the bike locked up, you could just pull more slack out of the bottle and slip the cable under the bike rack as the bit it goes round doesn't go down to the floor. Not the best advert.
