Make your own or find a bar the tip uses.   

They really are not needed like I found out later on. But they do add a cool factor to the look.

I think the roller nose was thought to be a big deal at one time .Cannon will make you one but they are extremely proud of them .Upwards of $300 or more ,depending

The big fat west coast belly bars are not suited for our east coast three cut on cants because they are so fat .You have to get about 8 inches of bar through the cut before you transition to the next up or down cut .

I think the idea was on those big west coast cuts was in theory you are pulling the chain in more of a circular motion which also in theory pulls easier .Plus the fact the curvature in the bar address the cutters differently to the wood than a straight bar .

The ones Cliff Helsel had made up from Cannon for the 3120 hotsaws were $200.

These tips posted here fit these bars too. ;)
