Any dealer should be able to order them for you.

I just had a local get one for his turbine. He also is doing some retooling and is removing the below the bar depower and is putting in a 4:1 pulley system above the bar like the velocity. Haven't seen it yet but should be interesting.

$40.00 plus shipping...which is usually a tad high in my opinion.

When I'm needing a WH replacement part, I usually buy a few other
items to off-set the shipping costs. Their replacement parts are priced
pretty darn cheap. For example I've purchased bladders & struts w/ valves
for just a few dollars more than a fix-it, stick-on valve.

Does anyone know if the waimman swivel works well with the slingshot bar? Has anyone actually tried?

Yes, one of our locals has just recently put one on his Turbine bar and says it works well. Maybe he'll see this and chime in... :wink:
