Does anyone know where I can buy just a kite bar (no lines / rigging / chickenloop etc)? I like to customize my bars and prefer to replace parts as they wear out. The plastic insert on my best bar has now worn through and is starting to eat the chicken loop rope.
thx

Don't know where to get just a bar but the same thing happened to my bar, plastic broke and ate my rope. I took my bar apart and sanded down the center hole smooth and it's ok to use now. You might try that if you can't find a bar. If you do find a bar make sure it has a SS bushing, otherwise you'll be in the same boat in no time. Plastic doesn't last.

thanks for the heads up on NSI. I like that they have just the bar - although $170 seems steep for only the bar. I can still remember the days when complete bars were $199!

Hi,
Every kite-dealer should be able to get you the bar of the brand he is selling as a spare part. Ask your nearest dealer or shop.
Greetings,
Jaros

I've got three kite bars for sale. 2 @55cm and 1 @ 45cm if you're desperate.
