One size fits all kite bar
Saw this and just thought of spreding the word (no connection to the company, whatsoever):
Kite Attitude Bar Only
The "bar only" comes with the back leader lines and the floaters, which means that you'll have to get a depower line and chicken loop but, at least
you'll have "one size fits all".
NICE!!!
They even sell it fully rigged (although it seems a little awkward) with 23m lines:
Kite Attitude Bar Full with 23m Lines
Oh, they have a flat rate shipping value of 10.
FTW...
Regards
Joćo

looks like you can adjust the bar end by sliding the horns or adjusting where the line attaches

It looks like you have of 4 locations to tie off the leader lines on the front of the "horn."
In this picture the leaders are attached at the outermost attachment hole:
In this picture the leaders are attached in the 3rd hole from the outside.
Note: Used text links to the images rather than inline photos because the pics are large (phone killers) and they don't have thumbnails.
Several current bars had two attachment points (inside and outside the horn) to create a bar that switches between two sizes).... this essentially
doubles the number of adjustments.

If you use the holes to adjust that means the plastic piece is almost 6 inches long doesnt seem that big in the pic

Actually, I think 3 inch plastic horns, as the difference of 15 cm would be divided between the two ends...

3 inches, not 6 because you are adjusting both sides of the bar.
The bar end is approx. 1/6 of the entire bar length so it actually works out.
