Looks like you did a good job. I like the pull strap trim better now I think. My bar with a cam cleat sometimes won't release to make an adjustment
if there isn't enough tension. Nice Mickey mouse 3 ring. Where did that come from?PHREERIDER - 19-11-2011 at 09:45 AM

looks good goof, i like the swivel on thereg00fba11 - 19-11-2011 at 06:38 PM
Thanks guys......
The mickey mouse looking swivel was the main reason I went with this set up..... there is no swivel in the PL standard strap and it may be just me,
but I found it not very intuitive to use when flying......
The swivel came with the complete Best 2009 replacement set up..... I was really happy with it when it arrived. I am going to sew some loops for
the O sh*t rings on the trailing edge lines where the safety hooks in..... had to convert this 04 to the setup like on the 07. I wish I could have
found just the ring set with the loops but no luck.
I didn't get to test today as I had planned. The snow showed up and the wind disappeared..... so hoping tomorrow will be a bar test on skis... wooo
hooo
I think I am just going to go ahead and order another of these Best depow setups and convert my 60cm 04 bar also...... I have enough rings and
pigtails laying around to complete it.....
I think that will be the direction I take my 07 bar as well but I am just going to get these 2 - PL 04's completed first and fly on them a while......lad - 19-11-2011 at 10:27 PM
I put a Slingshot(?) Mouse Ear swivel on my PL 07. It doesn't untwist the lines themselves, but it helps you can reach up an twist it yourself. I
think Phreerider(?) posted an interesting swivel alternative...a skate wheel bearing.
