    Well this is the only video i have of this saw, but i bought it off ebay last fall, was looking for a while for a very nice "big bore" saw and couldn't pass the deal on this one.

    Its has some mild porting done to it as well as a duel port muffler. Also the base gasket was removed and replaced with dirko sealant, 8 pin sprocket and it also came with 2 bars, a 30" Tsumura and the factory 36".
    The top cover also has lava mat on the underside to keep from melting the top cover. All in all i love the saw.

    Its called lizard skin bar tape. Its really good stuff, it came on the saw and i thought i might end up taking it off when i first got i, but the more i use the saw the more i like it.
