Anybody have an idea what year bar this might be? Non fifth line with aluminum clam cleat and non retractable line keepers. I'm thinking much older.
My 6 meter Ozone Access doesn't have a clam cleat trimmer. Would this bar system work to give me additional depower since my present bar hasn't any
trim besides the throw of the bar? I've had this bar sitting around the garage for a couple years. If it won't give me any additional depower on my
Access then I might as well get rid of it since all my Ozones are RTF already.

I want to say 2009ish, but you might want to check with Kent.
This bar is also pre-Orbit pulleys.

Thanks Sam! Not that it's real important or anything, just throwing it out there. This bar was cheap and intended for parts.

I would absolutely use that for an Access. I had a first gen access (4m) loved that kite to death. Kind of regret selling it. Only things I didn't
like was the pin on the clam cleat safety was too long so it stuck out and could puncture the kite if you didn't fold things up tiddy and it didn't
have a trimmer. Your bar has a decent chicken loop and now allows you to trim with the bar and clam cleat. Seems like a no brainer to use it unless
the version of the kite you have requires a 5th line safety or the bar is too long for a 6m.

Thanks B-Roc. Present bar with my Access has no clam cleat trim or fith line safety. I think it's 2010ish, which ever year Access came with no clam
cleat. Should be enough trim just with the bar but I'm gonna swap anyway and see if it gives me any additional range. Should work fine I'm
thinking.
