Think my Eclipse QR is starting to wear out as it unintentionally released yesterday.
Would an '09 slingshot profire bar work on the '08 Thruster, only reason I is asking is because of the CSS safety system on the slingy bar and can't figure it out if it would work with another brands SLE.

Should do.
All modern kites basically fly with all for lines, (or 5), equal.
As for the CSS, don't see why not at all, as it flags to a single front line. Can't see why any kite wouldn't flag and drop out of the sky.
See if you can borrow someones and test it, including a preempted safe release, whilst powered, in a moderate wind.

If it's a 4 line bar, it will work.
Also, you will see and feel thet a bar with a longer throw will work wonders on the thruster.
It's like a new kite.
SS bar, as long as a 4 line bar, will be perfect.
I use the Vari bar on my Thruster now, and it's perfect. Kick ass for wave riding.
PS: to set it up, ise the last knot on the rear lines, closest to the kite. I actually put another knot on the rear lines, same distance as other knots. Hook your lines to that, making sure your lines are all the same length in natural ( CL at bar, sheeted in pos)
