50cm for trow ( bar travel) and 20 cm for trim ( so called depower) is original Flysurfer Cam cleat bar.
I made my own chicken loop and trim adjustments with 55 and 31 cm for cam cleat bar.
Flysurfer race bar 55 cm and 31 cm.

I have the bar for 15 metre all setup-I don't think my arms are long enough for 500 mm travel, so I set it up with about 440 bar travel, and my bar is just under 500mm, but this is my low wind kite so i'll see how I go , but if the bar is too short I do have some older flysurfer bars that are longer if this bar is too short , but i'll suck it and see , I also have a speed3 12metre a speed2 delux 10 metre , an 8metre pyshco4, and a 6metre pulse2 for higher winds
