The rack mounted tail lights that Peter White sells would fit if the spacing is either 50 or 80 mm. Tel Aviv has a bike sharing program and those are the lights mounted to their racks. Seem to work pretty good. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/bm.asp Scroll down the page to, you guessed it, rack

Planet bike makes a bracket to mount on racks. Put a bolt through one of the middle holes, and tighten it down with a nylock nut and washer on the inside of the rack. It's this part - http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3108.html Pretty sure most lights from Planet bike come with that bracket.

Anne, Not that complicated if you talked to Peter White he'd make sure you get the correct combination, but pretty much any light now will have some kind of fork-crown mount either with it or for a few bucks more. Any of the fork-crown mounts will work with the nitto on the front.
