Radcity 4:Got a large basket and it's blocking my suspension seatpost

[TheWillieDee]

No matter which orientation I use the stock seat (with that handle jutting out of the bottom of it) impacts with the basket, causing a sudden jarring stop to the suspension. So I think I need to replace the seat, or get taller. The Basket is very convenient and it seems like it'll be worth the hassle.

Any recommendations on a good saddle replacement for a radcity 4, one with better clearance than the stock seat? or any ideas on how I can mount the basket differently? Any ideas really at all, just trying to figure out what my options are

You can either grow a few inches... lol, or move the basket back a bit.

Here is a video on how to move the basket.

TheWillieDee I'm going to shorten that up to TWD hope you don't mind. TWD I see your post title states you have a suspension seat post. I'm thinking you must have a cantilever suspension post, which moves the seat  back as it takes up the shock from bumps in the rode. If that's true you have a couple ways to remedy your problem. Either move the basket back or try a suspension seat post that collapses inline. inside the post. Oh yea or get taller    Looks like Si1Dia's basket mount would work good.

Thank you very much, these are the exact type of answers I was hoping for.

Shame that nobody can teach me how to be taller but that custom made aluminum bracket looks like a good method to try first.
