Wrap handle looks good!

Most of these parts are already in stock here in the US. Going to be a lot of these saws going out into the field right away, so we already brought in all of the basic stuff, including the crash parts for the accident prone guys.

But this stuff is pricey boys. How about a $147 fuel tank? The side cover that comes with the saw is $104, but the better option there will be to just use a 372 side cover for half that. Top handle is $75.

That's just wrong, how is it Husqvarna is charging NOS prices for out of production parts when they are tooled up to make them right now?

Over here we're seeing around 65 EU for the wrap handle kit that includes clutch cover, HD dogs, roller chain catch and the handle. Air filter is around $25.

They need to recoup their money for all the r+d that went into the saw. You know the pencil pushers have it figured out to recoup their investment as quick as possible

With the 31st being on a Thu, we figure we'll just drive on up to Troy and get the saws ourselves. That way we'll have them before the weekend. Depending on what freight company they pick, those saws could be sitting in some freight depot til the following week. That'll drive me nuts.

My favorite 71cc weighs like 15lb 7oz but it can also wear a 83cc 77cc top if I like.

I priced one of them as I was thinking I would buy a 2lb lighter carbed version 462.
As 445 are at my limits weight wise now carrying in the hills. Why I sold everything 16lbs and above PHO.
I then thought about it and pulled my offer 24hrs later. Figure if they didnt make me regret myself within 24hrs I better keep it and just wait.

Now I do like the handling of the 372 and 440 much better though.
