Even the 28 inch was 150grams lighter than the 22 inch standard bar.
I pulled a decent sized mare out of the creek this week so will make a chain up for the 25 inch and see how that goes!

Let us know if you notice any fondness for twisting or doing any other weird things with the light bars. Mate got a fairly new second hand saw with one on it, did not like it with the light bar at all. Reckoned he couldn't treat it the same as his old saw and had to baby the thing through the cut (one of those always in a hurry types, but can sharpen a chain just impatient). Formed the opinion the new saw was a floppy piece of crap, but just for giggles swapped the old solid bar over from the old saw that was getting flogged out. Much happier after that, all better no whining just 2 stroke engine noise!
