I need a 20in. bar for my 6401 but am having a hard time figuring out what bars I can use. Can anybody help me (Oregon, Husky, etc..?)???????????

Cool that's what I needed to know. I just want to get a bar so I can run this thing after my mod to the muffler. I looked at husky bars earlier because I already have a 20in. chain but didn't know which ones would/wouldn't work.
 
I should add that I've had the best luck, in terms of fit, with Windsor SpeedTip and GB Titanium. They're right on with a 7-tooth rim and a 72dl chain, and have enough room to run an 8-tooth, too (don't waste your time with an 8-tooth on the 6401!). I am currently running Cannon/WoodsmanPro and it is almost at the end of its adjustment with a fresh 72dl chain and a 7-tooth rim, and would probably prefer 71dl loops instead.

Where's the best place to get a Windsor? I'm guessing off the web ... ?

385

I was wanting one for my 385, when I get it. I want to choose between oregon, GB. Are the GB bars still orange, or are the white now?
