Is there a reason why there is pretty much no info or pictures available on them yet apparently they are due out in about 3 weeks? I'm confused.

It's weird as, nothing what so ever on the slingshot web page, and those links you provided were mainly just hearsay. Mysterious.

yeah but first link i posted is. as the guy above pointed out.

I cant see any reason why someone would go for an 07 fuel looks slightly off the mark, as was the 06 (for anyone who wasnt a blind pimp).

not mine, how it flys is what gets my business.

the dealer isnt your friend. You pay him money and he gives service. Its not out of the kindness of his heart.

unless you get a deal then your getting conned. But if your getting a deal your on the 'payroll'

Um, 'bout as many as every other company apart from Flexifoil (just kidding Naish fans [}:)])

Let hope the steering goes back to being slightly heavier and it busting your balls through a kiteloop. I did hear the because the link was introduced, that the Fuel was going to be the balls-out high performer - not for everyone but excellent for those with abs

. Is it troooo?

Surely the bar is some kind of a sick joke. Good idea putting the cam cleat below the bar, now when you unhook and pull the strap the end will hit you in the face even easier. If I understand right the more you depower with this system the less your able to sheet the bar. Surely its not so.

Sorry Spacemonkey it is!
I saw Ben Wilson with the same bar last Summer. I think it will be great to be able to use the bump stop on me c-kites.

Just a note on the bar......
From my info the fuel bar will be the same as the new 07 link bar...
I have used it as 5 line and it works well...no issues with the depower amount as mentioned in the above post.
A good improvement on what others are putting out. I am sure new fuel 07 owners will like it.
