Yeah, the accessory mounting thing is the main disadvantage I've found with the Klickfix handlebar bag. It blocks my handlebar mounted lights and video camera. A front rack would be more practical, and my Univega fork has mounting eyelets built in halfway down the fork, which would be a more elegant solution than the full length rack supports.

here's a good way to mount a cygolite on an M-18 or Mark's Rack. I drill and tap a Gino mount to an extra Nitto M-6 rod bolt, add a Bellville spring washer to keep it tight.

I eventually got a larger bag and needed a new location for my lights. Now I have a Minoura SpaceMount (minus the clamp) bolted directly to my front rack.
