    It was a crafty play on words...

    I don't really have a favorite . It just depends on what I'm going to be cutting . The 372 ,562 ,and 460 are generally used a bit more than the others .

    Can you fill me in on the bar a CS550 P uses. I've seen information that it takes a K216, but I haven't seen any dimensions for this mount.
    The few pictures I have seen, it appears to be very close to a K095. Maybe a slight modification would be needed, but I bet you could find a better quality bar than the OEM supplied one.

    That's a nice 026! Get that thing ported and she'll be really scrappy. Randy did my 260 and I'm impressed every time I run it.

    This 5105 is my 346XP, and MS261 Killer.
