Anyone put a spreader between two hard handles, kind of converting it to more of a full length boom? I would like to play around with this and I'm looking for examples of what people have set up. I'm looking to do this on Ozone Flux wings where the one-handed balance point sits slightly behind the front handle (longer front handle on the Flow fixed this).
I saw this product, which is pretty much what I'm looking for, but Im curious cheaper homebrew solutions too.

My buddy just tied a tie down strap (like from a ratchet strap) between his two handles to try and learn handle pass tricks. Works OK.
Here's what I use:

Sorry, I didn't notice. I use it for the harness line, but it is very sturdy so you could use it as a handle. Sometimes it seems to sit a bit closer to the strut than a handle, so blindly grabbing for it on a back mobe could be less ideal than a boom 
I've made one in the past. PPC 5.8 The back handle is bit of a long grab to get during gybe, I used hard electrical plastic conduit with ends cut to fit the shape of the handles & a rope/ elastic running through the middle to keep it in place. It did work to a degree however the ideal placement for my back hand was right where the start of the rear handle was so not ideal. It was bit of a pain to undo to fold up again.
