Sugi Hara Bars

[LumberJake]

Hi all. Just out of interest are the Sugi Hara bars all that? Do they last a lot longer than normal bars? What is so good about them? I'm not trying to 'slag them off' at all i'm just wondering if they're any good?

Had one on my Husky 357xp for quite a while now, and it is showing very few signs of wear despite the abuse i put it through. Highly rate them myself!!! (I am only on my first though, so others may disagree)

Yeah I am looking to buy one for my 357xp. Just because the bar on there at the minute is a bit old. What size bar are you running?

I have four of them . 15" , 18" , 24" and 28" . Not had them long enough to say in all honestly but they are extremely well made and judging by the look of them so far I would estimate they would out last the standard husky bar by a long way . Also lighter than corresponding Oregon power match bars .

Okay cool. Any experience of a Husky 357xp with the 15" bar? Does it add a lot of weight?

I have the 15" .325 on my ported 346 and its lighter than the Husky bar and therefore not quite as nose heavy so I presume it would have the same affect on a 357 . I run an 18" on my 560 ...same applies .

You have to get the " pro " bars with the resin inserts in them . Rob D will clue you up .

[LumberJake]

Are they lighter weight then?
