Good source, John. Thanks for this information...!!
Another option I've seen used is a short section of PVC (plumbing) type
tubing (thick-walled, heavy-duty type for 'pressure' lines) cut to fit
into the stem up front -- maybe with some shim, as required. Then a PVC
Tee-fitting at the top of the tube, and two more short sections of
tubing glued on either side (with PVC cement) into the Tee, then capped
at the ends with rubber insert plugs for handlebars. The unit can be
spray painted flat black (or a color to match your bike's tubing color).
This will allow mounting of a couple of lights, or a light/horn, or a
light/cyclometer combo. Benefit is the cluster turns with the front
wheel, so you see where you're going.

All,
After surfing all over to find a good way to mount a headlight, I stumbled upon
Terracycle.
They have a universal mount that clamps onto any size tubing from 1/2" to
1-1/4". See

. It was on the third page of a Google search, so Terracycle needs to get this
thing exposed
on more sites. It's a bit pricey at $29.00, but it looks good and gives you
almost unlimited
options in mounting locations and angles.
I used it to mount a headlight at the front of our Longbikes Gulfstream.
