Well, I simply couldn't find what I wanted for my 2012 RT to leave the Nav IV GPS bar-mounted on the dash, but also cleanly mount my V1 radar and SPOT. So like any sane person would do, I decided I needed to design something and have it fabricated. I purchased a pancake mount for the bar from BMW, the same one they use to mount the Nav IV GPS, and then had the following mount built. It provides ample room for full mobility of the windshield, provides some weather protection for the radar while keeping it in a suitable position to perform properly and provide good visibility to the rider, and provides a mount point for the SPOT with the necessary line-of-sight to satellites.
Below are a couple pictures of the completed mount after I painted and installed it as well as the "blueprints" if anyone wants to use them. This does require sliding the Nav IV as far to the left of the dash bar as possible. I had a local custom motorcycle shop do the fabrication for me and they charged $50 including material, which is a light gauge steel.
