Dude the north bar has been shit as long as 05.
I have the 08 kite and 2 bars still no better.
There over priced and on the 07 in 1 year i replaced
5 grey depower straps as the bar started to cut through from wear.

Get the rebel, the rhino's are very fragile and will fall apart as thaey are only for raceing.
I found out the hard way.
All the best
