Reduced Weight Bars

[Gologit]

Just to see how it worked, and it works good. It's pretty much the same as a regular reduced weight with the flexability. But it's lighter

How did you get the inserts out? Did they go back in easily? If you take them out and put them back in do they still fit okay?

Once you take them out you won't get them back in. The way I did it, I punched the rivets on each end out, set the bar on top of my wood stove (no more than 3 minutes), make sure it's good and hot. Once you hear the "pop" take it off quick (with welding gloves), slide a screwdriver behind it and pop the ends of that still have adhesive. Flip it over and repeat.

if you have had to fix it a couple of times already on the first day i hope you keep a back up close by. he** i am hard on solid bars like the es so i dont think a rw is in my future.

Haha, I bowed the bar to put a thrown chain back on and later noticed that I had actually put a slight bow in the bar, it came back with alittle bending in the other direction.

I haven't had any of those problems running a 36" bar on a 660. Maybe I'm lucky. I still run a Cannon on shattered redwoods cause they grab the bar quite a bit.

RW's are killer in tree length highlead settings.
