500i full wrap

[bigtreedon]

Any body know wear I can get a full wrap for my 500i in the uk

Its only made for the US market.

Check with Shavey, he usually has access to many full wrap handles of all fitments, maybe he can help

I would also be interested in one if you manage to find one...maybe if your importing we could get a load to make it worth while

I would advise if you are getting a wrap make sure to get the deflector that goes with it as it makes a big difference to operations up close and personal ! Stihl did a bit of a job on the wrap for the 500 with added finger support at the join from standard handle to the wrap part and the aforementioned deflector also I understand a harder AV spring option should be coming along which would be a better option as they are a bit soft.

@bigtreedon be lucky if you can find them as i went through this last year and drew a blank getting them in the UK as Stihl UK give no reason but say they are not for the UK market. Spoke to a couple of US dealers who said they can't export thier products as per their agreement with Stihl US. A mate in the US was going to purchase them and send them over but his dealer went bust due to covid so never managed to get them 🙄

that's the part number for the 462 full wrap 

i'm sure someone physically checked and it doesn't fit the 500i

 

or does it?

The box says 500i.

 

Maybe it is false advertising.

1142 is the 462, 1147 is the 500i
