Set back is 5" and the seat stub is 2.75"long x .840" or 21.35mm, both the seat post tube and the seat stub are Tig welded top and bottom.They come primered ready for paint. I can make them to fit any bike.$20.+$10.shipping. The one shown on top is a custom order.I now can do Paypal.Kip.

Dang! That looks nice! Too bad bout two months ago I bought one from Pirate. I had concers about the cantaleaver snapping with my weight on it and had a gusset added like you have done here; but it dosnt have the nice lightening holes of your piece. I think braceing like this adds a lot of extra capability and saftey to a layback. Think about the thing snappin at speed and your most important bits getting caught between an exposed spinnning wheel and the frame :eek: and I think most would opt to get your part right off the bat.
