Those low mounts for the headies really do apply a lot more than thought by people who opt for handlebars as the best position choice. The top of the front fork is my current preferred spot for mounting because it doesn't create a shadow of the wheel which lower mounting on the fork can produce. The real service for helmet lights for me is lighting up stuff on the handlebars or bar bag, such as directional instructions, and reading street name signs when riding past them.
None of this, of course, was applicable to jppe, but the surface sure was/is.
