I also checked out the bar I have on my 1130G. Turns out it's a XL mount 32" roller nose. I had forgotten about the deal with this bar. It was binding between the rail guides. With a little tweaking of the guides, I was able to make it work.
Homelite 1050, Super 1050, 1020 - Which one is it?

Hey Scott, are you still interested in this handlebar? It's yours if you can use it. It's not in perfect condition, but it is serviceable.
Now this is what I'm talkin' about!!!
There was dirt in the groove, but the bar appears virtually unused. I cleane off the light surface rust with muratic acid, then put a fresh brushed finish on it with a belt sander. The picture don't really show it, but the bar is almost shiny new looking. The chain clears the guide plates after just a little tweeking. They barely touched to begin with.

What do you think about stenciling this bar with red block letters spelling out HOMELITE, like OEM bars of this vintage? I know this roller nose wouldn't have that, but I think it would still look cool.

These are all stenciled.
The saw looks great Brad.
Me personally, I would get the old Oregon
stencile from sugar creek supply. I think
it would look nice.

I love the old Roll-O-tronic bars

Wow Brad! Simply amazing work on that 1050.
I've got a weakness for them myself. I have 36"er on my 1130G and a 36" large Sthil mount as well. I've also got a 21" in Poulan mount and a 16" in small Stihl.

I picked up another nice Remington roller nose the other day. It's a 20"....for now.
About 5 years ago sent Chainbar a roller nose tip and a hardnose bar.

That looks sweet.
Excellent! That's the same stencil I bought for this bar! I like it. It's not here yet though. I ordered it along with new decals for my Poulan 5200.
Here she is in wood. There's something wrong with the carb. It doesn't take well to L needle adjustment, and has throttle response issues. I've also got the idle air bleed screw backed way out and still not getting the idle RPMs up like I want. So it wasn't the VP fuel. I've got the carb back in the ultrasonic cleaner again. It runs great in the wood though.

She looks good but dog that bit*h in and LET HER EAT!!!!
I was thinking the same thing. Is it a new top end ? Maybe he's breaking it in easy ?
My eardrums hurt just watching the vid. LOL
As they say...Drive it like you stole it. I run my #### hard so I break my #### in even harder!

Dang Ray, I was pondering doing just that with my 60" hardnose Homey bar. After seeing yours, I think I just may have to.
