Why can't you fit it to the handlebars? Mine is - '94 K1100RS. OK it's a tight fit (using the supplied Garmin kit) but it's doable enough. I did trim the plastic yoke cover ever so slightly but thats optional. I also have a Touratech lockable mount fitted to the standard RAM mount.
I had problems fitting a Ram mount for a Zumo 660 to KTM bars because they are tapered. The centre of the bars where I wanted to mount it were too large a diameter for the 27mm internal diameter of the supplied U bolt. I found that Radio Spares sell a U bolt with a 34mm internal diameter which fits over the bars but still fits through the slotted holes in the Ram part.
The U bolts came in a pack of ten so if the bar diameter is your problem I have 9 left and you are welcome to have one if you want one.
Looking at pictures of a k1100rs I can see it is more to do with the trim on the bars. However if anybody needs a U bolt they can have one of mine.

many thanks for your kind offer. I shall pm you my details. I didn't really want to go trimming the trim but if needs be..., i would like to try a wider u bolt first to see if that works. thanks to everyone for the advice.
my first thought is onto the cast fluid reservoir cover plate with RAM-B-345 or RAM-B-346.
Again year of model is not given and then unsure why u-bolt is suggested (seen done on K1200RS) .
An 'earlier trick on this bike was to use RAM-B-252 as shown below..
