I have a t-rack on the front of my 650b Atlantis, attached to the top of the fork crown. no issues setting it up and a really great rack. You'll need to bend the bottom a little bit or use some spacers, but its not a big deal. I have basket on mine and then use the mounts for touring. I think it really splits the difference between minimal and super functional in the smartest way possible.
