There's been plenty of discussion on this on other threads such as the long-distance thread. I notice someone posted a photo of the chronometro nob (or whatever it's called) These are a good choice for fork mounting. There are lots of options offered by Peter White, for instance.

I've got a couple of pages that touch on lighting -- here and (photo) here..
Please, no front blinkies.
I don't agree with this. Sure, on a 2 lane road in the dark of night, it would be uncool to be blinking 400 watts at someone. But, when I'm riding at 3 in the afternoon, a front blinkie is perfect for getting a little attention to ensure people don't turn in front of you.
