Want to Buy Stihl handle bar hose

[Stihl Livin]

Looking to buy some handle bar hose to redo a 3/4 wrap handle on a 044. Please let me know if you have any and price via pm. Thanks

You can get it at the dealer.

 

[Stihl Livin]

Yes but from what he found it was a 10' spool for 50 dollars. I don't need a full spool

 

[nmurph]

How much for the spool? I could use a little and you could probably sell what you don't need.

Do you have any pictures of it so I can see how well it turns out please

It turns out good as long as you are patient, stretch it tightly, and take your time. I did a 61 husky recently I will try to get a few pics this afternoon

Industrial shrink wrap is easier to work with & has the same finish. Check with Stihlfixing on ebay.

Thanks for the idea tip. I tried to run a search for "stihlfixing"on eBay, but I did not have very good results. If you could post the Link or URL here for us, that would be great & appreciated. Thanks- Scott

You can buy the same shrinkwrap in 4foot sections from industrial suppliers if you need to do more than a couple. The product is used in cell phone tower construction, and has a glue applied on the inside so it cannot slip. I use a stove to shrink it to the bar. Looks good and holds up well too.
