if he has the cash try Gadet guy https://www.gadgetguy.net/ but it ain`t cheap (£80+) as its made in the USA, and likely to subject to import taxes into the UK potentially adding around 33% to the price
I have this mount on my triumph for my Zumo 550 and I`m happy with it, and would recomend it, its wired to a starcom

component parts can be bought here https://gpsforless.stores.yahoo.net/motbracforga.html
its a mix & match setup of bracket parts, depending upon the bike its used on. if in doubt email gadgetguy the details (bike/year/zumo) and find out which parts he needs

yeah he will make you a mount that fits your bike and then the standard ram mount fits to that, he normally makes them with a 1 inch ball on the end and some fit onto the nut on the top yoke

...85mm via a tape maeasure wrapped around the bars, circumference if thats the word.....

Using the power of the interweb, well this site, 85mm works out at external diameter 27.06mm.

Old school, circumference = 2 x pi x radius.
As radius = diameter / 2 then
circumference = pi x diameter
so
diameter = circumference / pi (3.14159)

If you get an accurate diameter using a vernier calliper (or micrometer > 25mm) you may find it actually works out at 25mm as mentioned above.
