[QUOTE="KiwiBro, post: 6816908, member: 33374"] Thanks man. Appreciate it. Been an expensive few weeks here. Every saving helps. Will probably have to go with a solid 32" bar now b/c reduced weight options seem either unobtainable or out of my price range. Kinda sucks because that's the bar I use most and I'm getting weaker not stronger. But have found a crowd here importing sugi hara bars and their solid ones are relatively cheap. I wonder if I could convince a local engineering outfit to mill out weight-saving holes/recesses in four bars (three new) ranging from 18 -42" and I'll fill them with epoxy I have here for not too much $. Might cut up the retired 32" Tsumura to see what sort of recess/hole they used. I know stiffness is important but if I could shave some weight off this new 42" sugi for example, I'd be a happy camper. [ATTACH=full]717332[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
