Custom 7900 spikes

[rbmopar]

I have never been a fan of the batwing spikes on the dolmars, so I made up a set that I think will work a quite a bit better. They look big, but they don't use up any more bar length the the factory ones. Tell me what you think.
What do you have to do to get pictures to show up on top of each other instead of like this? This is my first try at pics.

[rbmopar]

Thanks, I will try that next time.

I like them.

The bottom one is the one that really needs changing IMO.

I only did a drawing a few nights back with the bottom spike in virtually the same spot as you've made yours as (top half the same as stock)
I've found it too short at times to pivot the bar properly on large trunks when scarfing or doing a back cut.

Those look bad A$$. When you perfect them and figure out how much you want for a set let me know cause I'll buy some.

Are they atleast as thick as the original ones? Maybe even a tad thinker would be good.

They look good! Now chrome those bad boys!

Thanks guys. tdi, I had the same problem as you with the stock spikes. I could have left the top half alone, but personally I think they look goofy. So just a cosmetic thing there. Wildman, I made these by hand with grinders and what not, so a little time consuming for resale. I need to find someone with a plasma table or something of the like. I made them out of an old 10" table saw blade that seems to be spring steel. The steel will break before it will bend, so we will see if they are too brittle.

I know my local machine shop has a CNC machine..What about calling around and going that route?

Also what size and brand bar is that on there. It's a nice setup you got there

GOOD LOOKING DOGS .....

What about a chain catch between the lower points ....
Bolted to the inside ... pin into the bar cover ...

just a thought

 

[blsnelling]

Those look very nice. I like the curves of the spikes. Much better than factory!

The bar is an nos 24" general bar that I picked up on ebay a while back. It has the hardest rails I have ever seen, but uses a strange Oregon tip that have not been able to find. I will have to look into having someone cut a few sets for me. I need three more sets just for my own saws. I am definitely going to look into putting a roller catcher on it.

Nice work, very nice. I was actually looking at my 7900 this afternoon studying on a better design than the OEM ones, and I think you have it. If you end up selling any I'll sure buy a set.

I think you've got way too much time on your hands.

That's entirely possible. But there is a lot less productive ways to spend it.

Yep. You could make a mule of yourself on AS. :greenchainsaw:
