New bar project


I recently managed to pick up a used and abused set of Wainman control bars and lines for 20 bucks! I was going to use them as an emergency back up but due to the utter lack of wind we have been having here lately, I got bored and decided to make them into my own custom setup. Taking all the old rotted and torn foam off was a lesson in patience (there might have been some swearing involved). :saint: I ended up sanding it all down and ended up having to cut some of the lines and the depower line to get them off.... Some of the hardware was stripped and nothing would move... I refoamed the grips with EVA foam and 3m contact adhesive. I bought a new chicken loop, sheeting system and some blue (to match the bars) 3/16" dyneema rope for the depower line. I should have these done by this next week hopefully. Kinda liking how it's turning out so far.

Yeah, there are a few other things I need to order and find but it's turning into a fun little project.
