Xfactor -- Bed Extender Deformity -- Stand Up Assist Strap - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

As far as anchoring your support straps, it would be important to use a good sized backing plate on nuts or screws on the inside part of your kayak. This will help distribute the weight across a large area reducing chance of pull out. Might look at the stand up bar that is made for the PA, might get some ideas.

Good luck.

Might not be perfect, but Darby makes a foam kayak pad that fits over the bed extender. It has some contour to it, but it probably won't be perfect. It runs $16 on etrailer.com.
I have a bed extender on the way and was thinking about trying it out. But I do like the roller idea for easy loading and unloading.
I have some extra yakima landshark saddles... Maybe I'll try and adapt those.
