Included with the Cradle:
The cradle includes three (3) sets of side clamping arms. Each set of arms includes three (3) individual arms which connect to the slots on the side of the cradle.

The arm is 3 inches long between socket centers and is finished with a Black Powder Coating. The side of the arm includes a tightening knob which allows you to open and close the socket ends.

Tom's Review: Rating: Date: 2008-11-16 It's pretty much an easy thing to get this to work for your PDA. THere are 3 different sizes of clips which pop into place 2 on top, 1 on the bottom. The size of clips used are a factor of the thickness of your GPS unit. It's going to be a big pain if you have to remove them so get the right size the 1st time. Also it's a good idea to use some secondary way of holding the unit to the mount, so I epoxied some velcro to the mount as well as the back of my GPS. It should stay in place no matter what, now. Otherwise, putting the thing on the bike is a piece of cake just use the long bolts and spacers provided to use in place of the stock brake fluid reservoir bolts. One thing which was missing was any sort of diagram you just get the parts and a bag of mounting hardware and then you're on your own as to how it all goes together. Kind of a deficiency, but not too bad. Once you get it all together, you gotta wonder why it costs so much but I've always wondered why hardware it so darned expensive. Probably $10 worth of stuff here and yet it costs you 5-6x that.
