Adapting an old north bar on sonic from flysurfer

Postby stansxm » Wed Jun 15, 2016 3:23 pm

Hello ,one of my friends gave me an old old north bar north .there is a micro loop on the bar and a micro hook on the chicken .but the clam cleat and the depower line are too old.
I tried to adapt this bar on my kite using the flysurfer depower line which is normally doubled in the original bar. I cut it then it becomes now simple line in the north bar.
I have a problem now I don't have any system to twist out my front line because if I turn the chicken head with my hands to twist out the depower line during my session as the fifth line is on it my leash gonna twist around the chicken.
I suppose that I will have to change all the trim system with some unspinning system up the clamp cleat (like f one for example or slingshot).
Toby can explain me the unspinning system that you use on your front line please as I don't have any more now the bearing system on the chicken of flysurfer as I changed for the old north one.
Thx :)

the QR head, where the microhook is, rotates under the bar. the safety (5th line) goes thru the QR and bar.

Here you can see how it looks like

As you can see the ring for the fifth line is on the chicken head so when I will turn it to unspin the depower line the leach gonna twist around the chicken

I would seperate the safetyline from the QR!
There is no need for this!
Then everything should be good!?!

Finally I tried and I couldn't let the fifth line ring out like that because during the ride it's going close to the micro loop and avoid it to hook the micro hook on the chicken so I found an other option it's looking okay.
But the unspin system is not perfect. I'll have to twist out with my hands. Not perfect.

Ok, that's very old ;-)

Try to get a 2009-2012 North Iron Heart QR, them the 5th goes thru.

You can get those bars used for 80 Euro on eBay, complete with lines etc.

OK here is my solution.
First I used some heat shrink to protect the depower line. It works perfect. A really good sheathing.
Then I passed the fifth line thru the release plastic red handle because itis separate from the Qr.
And yes Toby you're right it's a very old bar that my friend gave me for free so when I saw the micro hook and loop on it is wanted to try right away. I was wondering how to get those bars if you tell me on ebay then I'll check for it. Thx.
