Title: Best Aftermarket Bars
Post by: jmester on April 09, 2015, 08:20:30 pm: What would be your guys top choice for bars? Just regular bars non lightweight. Looking mainly for Stihl 3003 mount 3/8 .050 84DL. Looked at GB could not find one in there titanium.

I would swear I mentioned Nate had Total bars there once. With link to his place.

Post by: jmester on April 21, 2015, 09:31:13 pm: Really like the lazer ultra bar. Not sure I like how far the nose rivets stick out but they can be filed down. Has good spring to it and bore cuts well. Think I will be getting some other total bars.
