I saw a guy with the rachet straps on his front forks and noticed the hooks stretching open...I dont know how long they were on the bike, but I wouldnt recommend doing that...

I've seen it done by passing the strap through the hollow front wheel spindle. Not ideal because the webbing runs on the outside of the fork leg but it did work.
