T540xp which 16" bar?

[treefolk]

As the subject says, anyone recommend a good 16" bar for this saw? When I say good I mean balance, longevity etc. Don't want another husky bar as just noticed it has a slight bend. Never been used to lever anything etc. Thinking sugihara but not sure if there is one to fit? Thanks

Too long IMO

Why such a big bar on a top handle saw?

1. Sugihara don't do bars for the T540XP (or didn't a month or so ago)

2. Why so long?

Once my 12" techlite bar has worn out I'm going to get a 14" sugihara.

I've heard that this is a good option.

Can't wait to try it.

Has taken ages to get the next Sugi order done - so still are 4 months away... (for the T540XP)

 

 

But when they are in there will be:

 

Pro lam - 12",14" and 16" 1/4" pitch

Pro lam - 12",14" and 16" 3/8 lo pro

Light type 12",14" and 16" 3/8 lo pro

 

There are a few people who use 16" bars on a top handle - in fact Reg wanted a 16" for his 200t! But only had 14" at the time...
