You probably will have a long enough wire, but if you have a really tall frame size then your handlebar switch wire might be too short if you mount your light too far from the fork crown. You might want to check your wire length before you fabricate a mount.
I do not have a front rack on my Pass Hunter, I have been considering just using a P clip to attach my light to the fork blade off to one side. And I would need a long bolt to put the light off to one side far enough so that the shadow from the wheel does not bother me.
