    I want to get a full wrap handlebar for my 365X-Torq. I've never ran a saw with one. Can I just swap the regular handlebar with the full wrap handlebar, does anything else need to be swapped out as well?

    Thanks, NYH1.

    You only need the full wrap....it should bolt right up.

    The full wrap handlebar and longer dogs for my 365X-Torq came today. It's a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Prolly put it on tomorrow.

    Two things, 1- it's cold out in the pole barn, my wife's at work, so that technically makes me the boss. :thumbs: 2- so we did the swap in the warm living room! :)

    We've (son and I) never ran a chainsaw with a full wrap handlebar. She only paid $40 something for it, not a lot of money wasted if we don't like it.

    Before....

    After.... It didn't add much weight at all, feels the same with or without it.

    Think we're gonna stick with the factory dogs on for now. If my son wants the longer dogs, he'll swap them out. He uses this saw way more then I do.

    You will like the full wrap just fine, especially if you do much felling

    Yeah, I mainly use it for felling and bucking larger wood. I had back surgery that went sideways so I switch to my NE346XP soon as I can.

    The new handlebar has a big fuel hose/line between the handlebar and side cover. Should I leave that on or cut it off?

    Thanks, NYH1.

    One of my Stihls came with a full wrap. ("tricked out" by the former owner) Its handy when you have to cut at an awkward angle usually felling. Best of luck with it.
