    Cannon bars are pretty sweet, black with orange trademarks.

    One thing and I don't know if it's allowed. I am 2 hr to city. 1 hr to farm ranch store. So online might be the way to go. Trying to follow rules if any.

    Where would you be able to pick those up at? What size. Saw came stock with a 25" bar. Was thinking 20".

    Factory Dual Spike kit would be a nice dress up item.

    If it's going to be a shelf Queen a little more mud and some primer on that back wall would help:whistle:

    All i know is the 261c i had looked pretty cool to me with an 18" cannon. These bars are one of the best also and really made well. They're not cheap also.

    My MS362CM-R came with the dual spikes and 3/4 wrap handle. I'm thinking of adding an aluminum skid plate and a scrench holder.

    I run my 361 stock, with Stihl ES or Sugi light bars One nice thing about it is how light it is compared to my 461, so I prefer not to add any extras.

    Take it to the woods and beat on it like it owes you money. That's what I do so if I get rid of it I feel it don't owe me nothing.

    Is that how that works? You smack a saw around long enough and it gets mean? Hmmmm. I may need to re-think my approach..... :sherlock:

    I'm with ya Mike. I like to keep smaller saws lean and mean. That means a half-wrap and and a dual spike setup for 50-60cc. I have the dual-spike kit for the 362 on my 261 but would like to fab something a bit smaller. Those lower spikes are a bit grabby on that saw IMO.
