No doubt some smart person figured out how to mount a flash light, or some other light, on rigid fork.
One of these perhaps,

Tying stuff to my allready clogged handle bar seems to inhibit the light at times.

does it have fender mounts (high or low)?
if so, these work great:

then you just use the std handlebar mount on the gino.
I have two I could sell
as I used them on my big dummy until I went dyno light up front.

I've been using one of these on my bars and it works great. I'm sure it could work on the fork, although a little tweaking might be required to compensate for your fork rake...

Or stick with the Fenix brand and give their mount a try. They're made to rotate so you can aim it as needed. Seem like it's exactly what you're looking for...

I use an old Minoura bar extender to mount lights on the Fargo, nice out of the way place to mount the lights away from handlebar bag/tri-bars etc.

I have one or two of those bar extenders around and not once did I ever think of attaching it to the fork in that manner. Great idea!
