I know this is long shot but any updates hereYou sure about that? Every pro top i have ever used, from memory has been a 3 rivet nose not 5 rivets? They are a first rate bar. Crazy if they are being sold for so cheap as a re branded Forester bar. I was paying around $90 - $100 many years ago for them, yet the Forester ones are $36.80 USD for a 20" large husky mount. Doesn't seem right?
I managed to buy around 15 of the GB titanium CN40 bars that were sold as re branded Husqvarna bars several years ago. I bought them in the same purchase with my first 365XT saw. Got a super deal of $15 per bar.
There has been much talk and conjecture that these were only pro tops and not titanium bars. Well let me set the record straight. The person i bought them off is a major Husqvarna dealer and had them listed as titanium bars. It was Husqvarna's deal when they bought and re branded these so they should know what they are selling. Well after 4+ years i am only on my second bar. The first one never wore out. I sold it with a saw because it was still in such good shape after 2 years. The one i am currently using i have only dressed 2 times this entire year. It simply doesn't need it because it is wearing so well. It doesn't get used every job of course, but it gets used a heck of a lot. It is wearing many times better than any GB pro top i have ever used. These Husky GB bars that i bought are without a doubt definitely GB titanium CN40 bars.
I have some Tsumura 20" and 24" bars i bought that i want to try. At the rate that this 20" GB titanium CN40 is wearing i won't be trying the Tsumura bars until early 2020 at the earliest!
can one still find these treasured GB titanium CN40 bars in Canada?? Many thanksBetzy
