Looking to save some cash and am just wondering if i can get away with a 45cm bar on a 13m 2007 Waroo? Looking to use this bar on both my 9 and 13 instead of having to get a 55 bar as well... What are the effects of a smaller bar on a larger kite?

Cheers

What Skinner said - Its the Truth!
The 13M needs the 55cm bar, is will be a pig on a 45 and you will not be bale to turn it tightly with ot without the rear pulley mod.
For most people leave the rear pulleys on.

I rode the 13 with the 45cm bar for 2 months before upgrading to the 55cm. So it's do-able on a 45. On the 55 the kite is slightly easier to turn for sure...

However - much depends on your back line knot setting. I fly my Waroos on the last or second-last knot away from the kite, since I like riding/jumping with the bar close to me. In the said close-to-the-hips position the kite is way easier to turn, as you're not having to turn it with outstretched arms.

Doing the mentioned mod will make the pivoting slightly more direct too.

The more you shorten your backline ( higher knots) the more you're forced to ride in poo stance with outstretched arms. In that scenario you WILL need the 55cm bar for sure.
