090 Parts/Handles

[Cheese]

I have seen the Stihl parts available on line that are not OEM Stihl. Is quality good on parts like handles and throttle assemblies?

I imagine that I don't want to know how much a stock Stihl 090 throttle handle costs or if anyone has one, but I thought I would ask anyway.

It is to replace a hotsaw handle that came apart midcut this weekend, bummer but that's how it goes some times.

Thanks.

I only have experience with one aftermarket handlebar for 090 and none with the aftermarket pistol grip/throttle. The handlebar was ok, nothing to write home about. You might be better off finding used parts on e-bay.

One that was easily found on e-bay with a higher retail plus shipping.

I'll keep looking, should have stocked up on spares before I had a broken one.

Thanks.
