MY 2007 Fuels have that bar......... The Rev was a 4 line kite and therefore did not have the wave grenade pin ( red tab above chicken loop in pic ) the bar itself may have still been the same.

2006 octane. 2007 fuel. both have the same bar 5th line that flagged from a ''''' WAVE GRENADE"""""!!!. the earlier diesel/fuel was depowered above the bar and only a short rope. the ropes through the bar used to wear out and wreck the bar.

I think my 2011 RPM came with that bar.

Unless it's not 2011 (that's what I have it advertised as)

that's not the wave grenade pin. it had a quick release design on the ring so you could twist it off. the one in the pic is secured by a lark's head knot & the ring has no centre release tab. also the lettering on the bar is not from 07

Time for some radiometric carbon dating, or just match it to the fossil record

Right you are.... Different lettering and the wave grenade has the horizontal pin.

those bars were used on the 2007,08 fuels and on the 2009 rev. the fuels went to the new bar in 2009.
