Is there any sort of a mount that fits the 2011 GSA fuel cap. I am looking at having OS maps in that area for easy reading. I would like something that doesnt sit on the tank as I have had problems with scratched tanks in the past. All ideas appreciated.

Givi sell a moulded tank bag that sits on the fuel cap. The clips sell separately, so if the bag is not needed you could use something suitable for the map.
I have used a very simple Ortlieb map carrier on several motorbikes, including a vanilla 1200 and a 1200 GSA.
I use either one of the map cases or one of the chart cases, depending on what size map I wish to display.

With just a very little bit of ingenuity, it's possible to use the cords to hold the very flexible case in place.
It does not scratch.
It is easy to read.
It is way less bulky than any tankbag.
It is easy to unclip when filling-up.
As it easy to unclip, it's easy to take into a cafe to study at liesure.
As it's double sided, you can spin it over to have a separate map displayed.
Cheaper than a tankbag, too.
Mine is a little different as it has a tag (to attach the cords) on each corner. A dig around on the internet will turn it up, no doubt.

From the dropdown list it fits a 1200, too.
