Hi, I have a couple of old bandit dos kites that lines have worn out on. I'm looking at buying a used bandit 5 or 6, Are the new bar and lines setup (line lenght etc) the same way as the old bandits and therefore interchangable?

From a seabreeze post back in Jan 2012 -
"The original Bandit & Dos bar had a lot longer rear lines as they connected directly to the leading edge, and the front lines connected to the (long) front bridle. If you wanted to use a Bandit 1 or Dos with just about any other bar (most bars - including Bandit 3's onwards-all have all lines exactly the same length when fully powered up against the chicken loop), you would need to either put extensions on the rear lines / or make the rear pigtails much longer to compensate"
The answer seems - NO you cant use B5 or B6 bar and lines on your older Dos without rear line extensions.
