Default How much to stretch?

Does anyone know how much longer a stock Yamaha stretch cart is in comparison to a standard-length one? Also, would it be wise to cut the frame right in front of the rear body support (the front side) and add tubing there, where there are no vital supports for bodies or anything?

I would assume the cart would need HD coilovers, and all the lenghtened cables for brakes and key switches and such.

Post your thoughts on this, please.

And a longer roof might be good too.
And rocker covers...
And a middle seat pod...

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

no no,
i stretched a G2 for a friend of mine this past spring and we 95 inches as he wanted a 6 seater all facing forward.

we cut the frame just ahed of the seat .what we used was 1 1/4 pipe as it slid inside the frame tubing very well.

do yourself a favor and run the pipe in until it stopson both ends and then weld it up.
we also ran a 1/4 x 3 flatbar on top of evry thing after to take out the spring board effect.
