you could get a bar extender like this:

avoid the minoura one though - it breaks.

Hmmm that might work, I liked the light I got for about $120 but it wouldn't fit. There are several others by the same company I like but figured the bar issue would be consistent.
Would this be stable?Amanda

Yet another reason I love my Dinotte lights (www.Dinottelighting.com) because they fit on all bars, or anywhere else!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

I have a NiteRider MiNewt. It has an O-ring mounting system so it fits securely on most any handlebars. The battery pack is quite small, charges quickly and I'm pretty sure has a life 6 hours on steady- longer on flash of course. I think it probably is a bit over your price point, but sometimes you can find them on sale and I think they might have a less expensive model, but you can only charge it through a usb port...

+1 on the Dinotte lights. Mine is really bright! There a little more pricey at around $160 but if they sell them at REI so if you have a dividend you can use it and get a good deal.

+1 I have been really happy with my MiNewt. It's really bright and has a lot of options for mounting on handlebars of different sizes.I have a NiteRider MiNewt. It has an O-ring mounting system so it fits securely on most any handlebars.

Amanda, I'm not familiar with that particular light, but most have some adjustability in the mounting bracket. For some, it's obvious- new o-ring thingy or whatever. For others, not so much- my Tri-Newt actually requires some minor disassembly and reassembly to make it fit larger bars. Any chance that it can be adjusted or that the company sells a bigger bracket? I hope that you can get it to work!
Oh, and big thumbs-up for the MiNewt too Those Li-ion batteries have awesome run times
