Hey. Thanks guys that was them in both pictures. I couldn't find the link anywhere. Unfortunately I'm in Ontario so a demo is out. I will wait for
your reveiw as I'm not in a hurry for them. Save duty and hassle if I buy from someone in Canada too.
Thanks again John.

I don't know the exact price Jon sells the handles for you would have to ask, but they are quite a bit more than a regular handle.
I have been using these handles since Jon came up with them. They make a race kite what it truly is and we are constantly figureing out different
techniques with the manipulation of these handles to make the kites do amazing things. So to answer your question they are worth whatever Jon sells
them for. I personally make my own sets, But and this is a big But I follow his design to a T no skimpying with cr*** pulley or they will not do
their job. That said it is easier to pick up the phone and order a set from KBSS .
I use the handles from the JoJo RM+4 up RM+14 and have found benefits in all these kites. The handles do have slight handle length adjustments as the
kites get bigger, and the handles have different benefits from the small kites to the large kites and also have same benefits through all of the kites
we fly them on.
How many guys out there can say they can wintip turn a 16 meter kite? Pulley handles can!!

2 different length handles is what he sells, but the measurement is in inches and not cm on this one.
kinda confusing we seem to use standard and metric measurements I guess it just depends what we r doing.

Wow thanks for all the good vibes. One of the keys to the handles is the Harkin pulleys. The handles are not hard to make but it is easier to get one
set to copy by. You can convert your handles to Power Pulley Handles and save a bit but all the lines have to be changed and $22 dollar worth of
pulleys installed. I have a set of blue prints with the part numbers for the pulleys, just email me at kbss@iinet.com. For me it is passion for my
sport not profit.
