There are several ways to go to solve your problem. A Tubus Tara can be attached to the fender mounts (and it has its own fender mount). Tubus sells the LM-1 mounting set which clamps to the fork leg. I’ve used one of these and they work. Axiom (and others) sell lowrider front racks that can be clamped to the fork leg with a plastic coated U bolt. I’ve used that arrangement for many, many years.

Since your bike has a threadless headset, it is relatively trivial to get a different fork and swap it out as well. That not as cheap as the other options, however.
