Sorry I can't help, but I carry my chainsaw in a back pack. Several on here have seen it, maybe even have photos of it. Works great and provides for a pretty even balance when riding. I carry a husqvarna rancher w/24" bar unless I know I'm just clearing small stuff. Then it's a cheapo poulan w/14"bar. It's much lighter but can't cut near what the husky can do; the big windfall trees that are 2' in diameter and way to long to get around or over. (Most that big fall across a side hill trail and in some cases high enough up to drag a bike under!!)

Been there, seen that. Never cleared anything w a saw yet. After much consideration I want the fork mount. Thanks for the response though. I want 2 saws like you said. Starting w a small stihl it looks like.

Chad-

Bill Dart has made several posts about his front rack. Do a search over at KTMTalk for chainsaw rack. ORBABill is his screen name.

I think the front rack is the way to go, but my little Stihl 192 fits just fine in a backpack and I can ride all day without much fatigue. It is the taking of the backpack on and off all day that becomes a drag. However, anything larger than an arborist saw and the rack is definitely the way to go.

ProMotoBillet has a rear rack with a chainsaw mount.

Chad your backpack already weighs a good 40lbs, what another 20 with a small saw in it.

I was up at Felony last night, there is a TON of snow up there, even at low elevations.

I rode with Adam from NCWR and he had a really nice set up for his chainsaw. The rack he had mounted on his KTM 200 placed the saw engine in front of his headlight and the bar tucked in nicely along the right fork leg.?

Chad,

PM me and I can hook you up with a guy that builds a great rack in Grass Valley. I am sure he built the rack that DW has on his scoot.

PM me I can hook you up with a front mount for your chainsaw.

Look for a rifle scabard. I actually have one that will mount to my fork leg and you can fit a shotgun or rifle in.

This might be an option or at least an idea.

Damn Hall Monitored again.....

Does the CA section even have a Hall Monitor that actually lives in the state yet??

At least The Hall Monitors are not digging up and handing out infractons for threads buried on the 8th page anymore.....

Pretend I'm a complete idiot, humor me for a minute and tell me why you guys are carrying chain saws. You guys axe men?

Seriously, I'm curious.

To remove 4 ft diameter trees from the trail when a re route isn't feasible.

If you send me a PM I can send photo's of a KTM w/ saw mounted.

The mounts are very nice!!!!

This is from our trailboss.

Here's the email address of Jerry Lund, the guy who makes the chainsaw

brackets for KTM dirtbikes. I have spent at least 25 hours using mine and

I absolutely LOVE the thing. It works SO slick. He claims that he is now

black anodizing the brackets. I have no clue how much we wants for them as

I had gotten an older version that he and I both knew I had to seriously

modify. It was pretty darn easy for me to adapt his bracket to my Yamaha.

It was much more difficult to adapt it to my chainsaw (Stihl MS250).

Jerry's bracket is designed for a Stihl MS 180. I would think that there

are several Stihl saws of that physical size now (MS 210, MS230) but I

can't tell just by going to their website.

Becuase every new burn area is a guarrantee of copius amounts of spring time trail blocking dead fall .................

Found this at cyclebuy.com

It's not fork mount, but might serve your needs.

[Moto_Ty]

I carry my chainsaw in my teeth while its running, chain moving and everything. Its really working out for me, and my manliness is through the roof.

Here in idaho, most mountain trails are snowed in all winter and spring. By the time the snow melts, there are typically between 1 and 20 fallen trees per mile blocking the trail. Even where it is possible to go around them, this is usually a bad idea for sustainability, and in many places it is simply not possible for the majority of riders to go around or over these trees.

We are talking about 1000's of miles of trails here, so there is no way the wonderful caring government can take care of clearing all the trails (although Idaho parks and recreation does use our registration money to pay several 2-man crews to do trailwork and clearing each year), so there is a small army of dedicated volunteers that packs saws and clears trails each year so that hikers, cyclists, equestrians and motorcyclists can safely and sustainable enjoy the woods.

I didn't get my saw rack set up until mid-summer last year, and I still cut around 100 or so downed trees by myself. We also had some club rides where we had 2-3 saws and could trade off and we cut many 100's more on those rides.

If you want to fly to idaho this june or july, you can come with us and help.?
