Looking for an 18" bar for a Stihl 241-CM running Picco Chain

[Sid Post]

I have a well worn factory 16" bar on my 241-CM today. All I seem to find are mainly 14" with a few 16" factory Stihl bars. The 18" or even a 20" bar in the lightweight format would be nice but, where do I find one for a reasonable price? The only ones I have found are at scalpers for a price I won't pay.

Cannon out of Canada has what looks like a nice bar for my saw but, I cannot find any in stock anywhere. At ~$150 though, it is definitely at the upper end of the price range for me. I would be a lot happier at a $100 or so since I can get another factory 16" bar for $36 right now if I strike out on a good 18" bar at a reasonable price.

I did look into the Japanese bars but, they don't seem to make bars to fit my saw over 14". Their bars sure do look nice, just wish they were available in a form to fit my saw in something over 14".

Bonus points for a replaceable roller/bar tip. Spending more than a factory bar costs to repair it just isn't a viable path forward for me which is why I am in the market today after getting mine pinched and bound up.

TIA,
Sid

p.s. A link to a good bar to fit my saw is appreciated!
