No doubt some smart person figured out how to mount a flash light, or some other light,  on rigid fork.
One of these perhaps, http://www.fenixtactical.com/fenix-ld15.html
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: http://www.paulcomp.com/ginolightmount.html

then you just use the std handlebar mount on the gino.

I have two I could sell Wink 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!  headbang thumbsup
