Quadlock for 2023 GT Pro

Apologies if this has already been raised elsewhere in the forum.
Has anyone found a suitable mount/mounting point for a quadlock on a 2023 GT Pro? I'm struggling to fix the standard Quadlock handlebar mount where it doesn't foul the steering, hit the tank on full lock or point at 45 degrees to the rider making seeing the screen impossible.
I've settled on a position as close to the fork clamp as possible in a near vertical position which works until I fit my Givi tank bag and then it's hidden from view and fouls the bag on full lock.
Anywhere else is impossible due to all the buttons, wires etc adorning the GT bars and the fact that the bar diameter reduces as it moves from the fork clamp towards the grips - at the grip end the bars are narrower than the Quadlock smallest spacer.
Off on a 2k mile tour of Spain & France in April and would like to get it sorted by then.
Thanks.

You could try to fix it on the bar with wich you alter the windscreen. I have seen this being used for mounting GPS at multiple Tigers.

Thanks, that is extremely helpful.
You have the mount positioned where I've put mine, I think it's the only option. I need to get out and ride with it fitted and work out how far I can angle it and still see it in the sunlight. My Givi tankbag has a phone pocket in the top but I found it useless in Spain this year, the sun reflects off it making it unreadable and it got so hot in Zaragoza that the phone shut down.

Two issues, in my opinion, concerning QuadLock mounting solutions:
- in fact, the angle which makes this assembly possible in our bikes does cause sun reflection a little hard to deal with;
- quadlock cases are so “hermetic” that accelerates the cooking process under the sun (the same happens when attached to my car windscreen…
I’ve tried other options and brands, did not find any to be better than this one. In fact there is a post of mine somewhere in here you could see another device in a better position, but it wobbles too much (over the panel).
Keep us posted on your findings!
Take care

This was my set up until recently. A quadlock mirror mount, anti vibe mount & waterproof wireless charger mounted to the screen handle. I have since replaced the plastic handle with an alloy one from AliExpress (excellent quality). This set up is rock steady and I can't see me changing it any time soon.
Lover of brown beer, big breakfasts and bike racing.

This is what I did so that the phone misses the GPS and the tank bag on full lock. Note that I have the 2" bar risers.

Visited the NEC bike show yesterday and the very nice guy on the Quadlock stand was able to provide an extension bar that has solved the problem by moving the mounting point upwards and to the left so the phone is now visible above the tank bag and doesn't foul anything.
Thanks for everyones help and pictures.
