just cut the renthal layback down..  :daumenhoch:   i've done it before for my supergoose 3 with no problems, the post is plenty long enough unless you ride with your seatpost sticking out like a skyscraper  :LolLolLolLol:
I've now got an original straight renthal 'superlight' seatpost & theres not that much difference in the length compared to a cutdown layback at all  ;)
