    Put a 20" on my 400 just over a month ago and have had a 25" on order for the 500 for about a month. Difficult to get around here.

    With tax $159.89:faint:

    This was the only dealer around me that had it in stock. They also have the light in 32" and 36"

    Sons has a 25" ES light on his 661C Magnum.
    Had to replace it once. Had a bad pinch, and one rail side split.
    Not the bars fault.
    Runs a 36 as well.

    Any of you 661 guys wish you had more oil volume ?
    Mine is a tad to stingy for my tastes.

    Did you depress the pin so you can turn to max oil? I have a 28” bar on mine and it oil’s fine after pushing in the pin and turning it all the way up.
