Just want to know if my slingshot bar will fit my Fluid atv, the Fluid bars are not a lot of chop.
Both have bridles.
Are all bar lines the same length?

What year SS bar is it?
On the ATV the lines are the same length so just check if the SS bars are the same. Otherwise yes they will work.

Im not sure if the flying lines connect to the leaders on the kite the same way so knots/loops but thats easy to adjust.

SS used to have their bars with lines at equal length with the kite max powered and the bar pulled in. If Fluid is the same you should be fine.

2010 slingy bar from my 9m octane.
Atv is 7m 2010

Steve, how does the 5th line work with the fluid bar? It hasnt got a 5th line on the bar but kite has attachment point on the centre of the LE for a 5th line


Saffer, slingy bar lines are equal length

Why do people keep on asking this? Aren't 4 line bars after 2009 the same, sometimes there's a difference in where the front lines divide but otherwise universal?

no they are not

even if the 4 lines are the same length you still have to make sure the depower throw works the same and you have to be SURE when you punch out the safety systems are compatible,
most are but not all
