Tiller Pillar: a Carbon Fiber Tiller Extension
For the higher end of tiller extensions, Carbon Marine makes the Tiller Pillar. This is a carbon fiber heavy-duty outboard tiller extension. Easy to install and remove and you do not have to modify the motor for installation. These units can also be fitted with a remote switch for tilt and trim or jack-plates.

DIY tiller extension
Now I have to say that a PVC pipe can make a pretty good tiller extension handle. You would need to find the right diameter pipe and cut it to length. Then, add some hose clamps to secure the PVC on your current tiller handle, but it works!
