Stihl FS 240 handlebar swap to D handle

[Howard Justice]

I have a one year old FS240 w handlebars. At my 5.5 feet height the handlebars are not what I expected. Harness adjustment and handle bar relocation has not helped. Most use is on steep terrain. Talked w my local dealer about swapping to the 240 handlebars for a D handle. Looks like about 120 bucks. Still evaluating. I welcome any thoughts. Thank you!

Swapping to the 240 handlebars for a D handle may offer you better comfort and control, especially on steep terrain. I would say $120 is a reasonable deal and a good idea for safety purposes considering you're working in conditions where harnessing is essential. If it were me, I would swap for the D handle to be on the safe side. Hope that helps!

With something as basic as this part, AM seems reasonable to me.
