At the risk of controversy: Similar Kites*

Anyone know how the bars mix interchangeably?

This is what I've just started using. It's been working OK as long as I have the backlines on the knot closest to the kite. 2007 7m waroo with 2008 Rev bar and lines. Just had to take the little piece of rope off the end of the front lines because the attachment on my rev has the knot on the lines, and on the waroo the knot is on the kite (so the front lines are slightly shorter, which is why I have to have the backlines on their shortest setting).

I use a 7m Waroo pro with my 9m rev bar, I had to put 17cm extensions on the front lines, actually just 15cm longer pigtails, works realy great, the REV bar is far better than the best bar up to this year when Best seem to have finaly made major changes.

Correct, because the T2 is a 2:1 ratio bar and the Waroo is designed to be flown as a 1:1 ratio kite. It would work but not well like you found.

The Rev bar is 1:1 ratio and will work fine on all Waroos, should not need any adjustments to line lengths unless something is out of whack on the kite?

Got an Ozone bar and lines on my Waroo. No line extensions were required.

A five line bar on a 4 line kite.... Where did you put the 5th ?

No fifth line. The safety goes through the bar and connects to the front lines.
