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.
+1,000,000 on the dynohub (wish I could afford one myself). Why worry about batteries when you can power your own lights?

If the dynohub option is too much, there are bottle generators that are much more affordable, but can pose some problems in wet/snowy conditions. Check out Peter White's website.
