The line attached to the bar is your leader line. I think most bars use some form off a stopper knot (usually an overhand knot or figure eight) after the line has been passed through a hole somewhere in the bar. Both ends off your kite line are larksheaded to the stopper knots on your leader line and bridle

For anyone who cares, the "larkshead" is more commonly known as "choke" in a line in the rope/rigging world. Also known as "cows hitch", "ring hitch",and "barrel sling"
