gazza_c Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Has anyone done the mod on these harness's to allow for the easier speed bar application where you sew the pulleys on just at the point where the hip movement starts on the sides, as opposed to where they are standard(at the front) I find this hard to engage on my ros that uses the weight shift bars! I fly the reaction and am looking at re-positioning the pulleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I very well know the problem you are having with the speed bar ...on your Pap My old one had this very same problem ...as it would because its the same as yours my new one has the pullys at the back of the seat and the difference is amazing ....so easy to press the speed bar now where as before when I applied the speed bar I would end up letting the throttle off leaning backwards pushing with all my might to get the bar to move then once in position (fully extended) sit back up and apply the power again it was not the most easy of process and as a result tended to fly with out a speedbar most of the time..... I have seen a mod where a pully has been attatched to the frame itself near the bottom with a length of line/lanyard so that it sits on the outside of the harness but it (the pully) position is at exactly in the same as on the new harness (but on the outside) apparently the Guy who had done this mod reckoned it worked just as good and reduced the effort req to push the speedbar....
