I recently purchased an 07 CR-V EX-L, Love it. I have one minor issue, I could use just a touch more leg room. Anyone know of any after market extentions available?

Welcome to the club. I don't know of any extensions, but I would offer this caution. Use care messing around with the seat. There are sensors for the seat belts in the seat as well as side air bags that deploy from the side of the seat back. The seat belts also have tensioners that tighten up when the vehicle's sensor detect a crash condition. I would advise against altering the seat in any fashion. If you do, exercise extreme caution in this endeavor.

Extension of what exactly? I will guess that you mean drivers leg room since you are likely the owner/operator. You mean extension to move your seat back farther? How tall are you?

G1 CR-V/G3 CR-V
Front Legroom: 41.5"/41.3"
Front Hiproom: 53.4"/55.9"
Rear Legroom: 36.7"/38.5"
Max Cargo: 67ft/72ft

On paper its larger. I took my G1 to the dealer to look at newer CR-V's with my mother. She loves the rear seat room mine has, she loves the G3 body style. I was excited to take her - after explaining that the newer ones were even roomier than mine- as I was convinced she would be getting a new 07' EX. We parked my car next to the 07' and compared room (thats really important for her) in the rear seat, front seat, cargo...etc

The newer ones feel more cramped IMO but they sure are nice. THe issue with the new ones being larger and having more room on paper is that its just that... its only on paper. The measurements for front is measure withthe front seats all the way back, for the rear is measure with the front seats slid up. She passed it up because the comparison of our cars was pretty amazing actually. With the driver/pass. positioned comfortably, the rear seat room in my G1 was considerably more than the 07' :(
