I don't know if anyone sells one but it's easy to bodge. Here's my universal one:

This is literally a gopro mount araldited to a bit of handlebar, complete with barend plugs- so it's compatible with the original handlebar mounts. It's a bit tall, though- the taller it is, the more the weight moves the helmet around and the wobblier it all gets. So I made an unadjustable version 2, using another gopro mount, a wee wedge (a bit of clothespeg in fact, but you could use anything solid and wedgy) and stuck a bolt right through the whole thing into the light. (specifically, a snapped Orange 224 Evo mechhanger bolt, but other bolts are available).

Getting the aim right was obviously critical but it was simple enough, very pleased with it.

There's other ways, you can just use a couple of gopro elbows with a bolt through to retain adjustability at the cost of a little more size/height, that'd be a good compromise.
