Yeah that sounds like the best combo, spendy though. Still have to save for the mod work you'll hopefully do soon!

You’re right about that. I had to special order my stihl 24” light weight and I think it was $130. Plus the adapter to run it on the Makita. But it’s the only true 24” light weight bar.
Does this look like it would fit a Makita if it fits the Dolmar? Seems like a good light weight bar.

It will fit. Any Oregon D009, large Husqvarna mount bar will fit it.

Oh nice!!! I knew the D009 would be the number but didn't see it associated with that lightweight bar. Thanks for clarifying this! Always learning on this site.

Those bars aren’t all that light though. Less heavy but not a true light weight bar
So is Stihl the only true lightweight bar??

Yeah. The whole middle section is empty. I don’t know why but stihl is the only company now who makes a true 24” light weight bar.

Here’s the part number. For some reason they are hard to find. I went to my dealer and provided the number. They had no idea it existed. Showed up in about ten days.
and the adapter

Well I finally got to run this Makita/Dolmar 7901 for most of today and all I can say WOW!! this thing runs like a violated gorilla. I also have new echo CS 590 that cuts and runs really well also but nothing like this Makita, I know the makita is bigger but the difference in power is much more noticeable but the weight isn't much different. I feel like the power to weight ratio is excellent. very very happy with this saw. having cut for the Forrest service for a few years and running lots of pro Stihls, I feel this makita is a a better saw (my opinion) and I don't dislike Stihls, I just feel this saw is more saw for the money.
Where did you find 22'' bar? i looked for that same bar online and no 22''.... not made anymore?

I bought it on eBay as a bar/chain combo. I got what I think is a good deal on it which was $59 shipped. It did come with the cheaper Archer chain but it’s been fine so far. It might have been a promo thing or something.
The eBay seller was “archerplus”. Below is a screenshot of the ad.

I've bought from archerplus. Good seller.

I like the bar a lot. Seems to be very good quality. I don’t have a whole lot of time on yet but I’d recommend it for sure at that price.

They have smaller spikes in the EU. Don't think stateside dealers can order them, but there are folks on the chainsaw forums that are able and willing if you look around.
