DIY : Headlight mount on fork
I don't know what to explain How to do it in English, but pictures should be enough for you.

However, the DIY stuff here is superb and much cheaper.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'll put that one up there with the "Sondgeroth" fenders and the homemade mudflap using a stair tread and cable ties. https://mgagnon.net/velo/garde-boue.en.php

I was reading somewhere that a guy used a headset spacer and headset cap with bolt to do something similar. However you need mid fork mounting points.

Nice. Looks like just the ticket for me.
I've been using a Twofish lockblock to attach a flashlight to my head tube, but it angles the light up a bit no matter how much I fiddle with it. I can correct for most of the ~17 degrees of incline, but the last 5 degrees or so defeat me; plus, I'd rather my light angle slightly down if anything, not up (unless I'm looking for snipers in trees).
