Wondering what advice anybody has out there matching up caution spitfire kites with other manufacturers bars. Seen some guys riding with canrinha and slingshot bar setup with their caution kites. Tx

Re: Caution Kites w/ different bars?
Been flying Caution kites since the C kite days, Any low-V bar works. I fly mine with Slingshot and Liquid Force bars. Sometimes even using a 5th line when I forget to bring my 4 line bar. Just make sure the setup uses a single flagging line.

Re: Caution Kites w/ different bars?
Oh, well... have not been really paying attention to bar preferences as I have gotten accustomed to my bar setup.
Let's see. I really don't have stock bars, all my bars are modified customs: Slingshot below the bar depower cleat and chicken loop, Liquid Force bars, 20" and 17", custom leader lines and pigtails, Mickey Mouse Swivel (for lack of better term), Qline power lines (Cut to 20 meters), grenade quick release for my fifth line.
Biggest kite is a 12 meter Spitfire, smallest kite is a 4 meter. I use 20" bar from 8 meter to 12 meter kites, and 17" bar from 4 to 7 meter kites.
I'm used to (and like) bar pressure, so I don't really pay attention to bar pressure issues.
I use the same bars for my C kites, with 5th line interchangeability.
