Here's a picture of my home made extended seat bolts.
These are green to match the bike and were very cheap.
I bought some 75mm long M6 stainless Allen bolts. I also bought some green plastic 6mm air line tubing. I cut the tube to the same length as the unthreaded part of the bolt. I then screwed on an M6 nyloc nut but with the nylon end going on first. You can screw it on the normal way first to cut a thread in the nylon and then take it off and screw it on backwards. Screw it right down until it butts up against the plastic tube and that's it.
I think they look OK and I didn't part with £30 for them!
The tube can be bought in quite a few colours.
