Just put clip-on aero's on my bike. Rode for about 45mins (I know, I know... that's not enough time yet) and handling was all over the place. I started to get it toward the end of my session, but still not confident.
How long until you felt comfortable and could ride a straight line?
How long as you been riding the road bike? If you've been a roadie for awhile, it shouldn't take long at all. Besides adding bars, have you looked to improve your overall position by lowering your stem and increasing your reach? I've seen a lot of folks who put bars on their road bikes but still have way too upright a position to take full advantage of it. An aggressive position is going to do a lot more for your aero profile than the bars, and it looks a lot more pro.
