I lengthened mine, the frame was already setup for bags and the price was right, almost free. I'll find some pictures and post them Saturday, remind me if I forget.

Basically I setup a jig contraption in the garage, measured 487 times then cut the frame in the straight area past the factory slide joint. For the extension I used sections of the original 50 frame, boxed the area and called it done.
