[markieg31]

hello boys and girls.

 

my bar has had it on my husky 550xp.

 

so what bar shal i replace it with?

 

at present it has the original husky one. ihave had the oregon bar before but found it a bit heavier (maybe imagination).

 

what do you use recommend?

 

keep it smooth.. silky smooth

I've a Oregon Powermatch 15" on my 560 xp , I recon it's better than the original .

I am yet to try one, but I have only heard good things about the Sugihara bars that Rob D is peddling. As soon as I wear one of my bars out, I'll be ordering one.

Always prefer Oregon to Husky bars.

oregon, very time

I'm running Sugihara bars on all my huskies, I wouldn't use anything else now...:thumbup1:

I've always preferred Oregon Pro-lite to Husky bars. They wear better, don't need greasing at the nose, and usually cost a fiver less But I do like the look of them Sugi-Hara bars...nice an shiney

[Stubby]

Been Oregon on most when the Husys wear out . Had a couple of long GB titaniums that ere good . Going Sugi - Hara on the short bars as soon as Rob sends them, .

ive got a 18in sugihara on mine, its spot on can't fault it. so much better than oregon imo.

Can someone explain to me how a guide bar can be "Good" or "Better" than another.

Surely if the chain runs round it's fit for purpose. On the very rare occasion one of my guide bars lets go I just go to the shop and get another, usually Oregon I think.

What I'm asking is how does this improvement manifest itself?

Not looking to argue (For a change!) Just curious.
